Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The International Triathlon Union or ITU is the international governing body for the multi-sport disciplines of triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon and other nonstandard variations. ITU, which is headquartered in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, sanctions the ITU Triathlon World Cup and the ITU Triathlon World Championships. The ITU was formed in 1989, and organizes official world championship series races for the sport of triathlon. It was formed in part to give the growing sport of triathlon an official organizing body and in part to advocate for the entry of triathlon into the Olympic games.
