yes the backdrop could be a clue !!
I’d say no as they use the picture of Tenby, IM Wales for the banner of Swansea 70.3
I going with IM Peterborough 3rd August.
If I make enough guesses I might get it.

One clue is the timing; between Swansea and the September ones.
So likely August - which means it can’t be a tourist area.

they could be pulling a fast one with that photo, but it’s a decent location used for a massive event previously. Ive even seen suggested bike routes!
Edit to make image bigger!

Leeds could fit the bill, swim could be that disgusting lake 
Hmm, Brownlee on the start line for a decent payday

If true, I actually find this quite exciting, like pissing on Bolton levels of excitement. Going to the Reebok stadium, whilst I dont doubt the race had many positives, it was never a “destination race” like Tenby is, but I have a mate in Leeds, and its a big city, with great bike route potential and a history of holding a big event. It has potential to draw me up there for sure.

You could do a decent one around here. Several lakes to swim in and then a mix of climbing and rolling routes. If it was just IM in terms of branding I bet you would have LOADS of moaning but add the Brownlee name in the promotion it would be well received in general.
