London, UK: The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) and World Triathlon have announced that France will be added to the 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour calendar alongside confirmed returns to Singapore (12-13 April), San Francisco (31 May-1 June), London (2-3 August), Ibiza (27-28 September), Las Vegas (25-26 October) and Dubai (November).
The French Riviera T100 will be take place in a soon-to-be-announced location in the beautiful South of France over the weekend of 16-18 May, 2025 and include: 100km races for the world’s leading female and male T100 professionals as well as a 100km triathlon (2km swim, 80km bike, 18km run) for age groupers and a range of ancillary events that creates a ‘festival of multisport’.
Welcoming the news, PTO CEO Sam Renouf said:
“It’s exciting to be able to share that the T100 Triathlon World Tour will be heading to the French Riviera next season and that we’re also able to advise on the dates for six of the other 2025 legs for both professionals and age groupers as we look to grow the series.”
“We’re delighted to be working with the French Triathlon Federation and local partners to stage what will be a formidable weekend of triathlon and multisport activities. The French Riviera presents a stunning backdrop and iconic location for our pros and amateur participants to enjoy as well as the fans watching around the world. We will announce full details of the weekend, including the timetable and registration information in due course. After the sell-out fields in London and Dubai, we expect this to fill up quickly, so you can already sign up for priority registration on our website at https://www.t100triathlon.com/france/participate/”
“Having hosted three stellar Olympic triathlon races as part of the Olympic Games in Paris over the summer and then 11 Para triathlon races during the Paralympics, this is the perfect time to be announcing that the T100 Triathlon World Tour will be heading to France next year,” added Marisol Casado, World Triathlon President and IOC Member. “As we plan the second season of our partnership with the PTO, we’re already working hard on ways in which the T100 series can complement our existing events and minimise clashes to create a sustainable calendar for the athletes.”
Speaking on behalf of the current crop of T100 contracted athletes, France’s Sam Laidlow said:
“It’s encouraging to see the 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour already starting to take shape and having competed in Singapore and won in London this year, I know exactly what the weekends entail in terms of competitive racing, prize money, prestige, global media exposure and atmosphere. The series is a fantastic addition to our calendar and it’s exciting to have a ‘home’ race to look forward to at the start of next season.”
With the PTO having multi-year contracts in place with Singapore, San Francisco, London, Ibiza, Lake Las Vegas and Dubai – and following successful T100 events in the first three cities already this season – the 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour calendar is already taking shape.
Next up in 2024 is Ibiza on 28-29 September.
