As the 2025 series concludes with the Qatar T100 World Championship Final in Doha this week, in partnership with Visit Qatar, the full T100 Race To Qatar calendar for next year includes:

The PTO and World Triathlon have also confirmed that the Gold Coast, Spain, Vancouver and Dubai will host women’s pro T100 races in 2026; with Singapore, San Francisco, France and Saudi Arabia hosting men’s pro T100 races. The pro women and pro men will then come together for the second Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final in December 2026.
This follows the announcement in October that there will be a number of revisions to the 2026 T100 Triathlon World Tour format, including an adapted competition schedule, removal of season-long contract commitments and increased event prize money.
Amateur triathlon and mass participation opportunities will be delivered by the PTO at each event, aside from the French Riviera, which will be in partnership with the Saint Raphael Triathlon, and San Francisco, which will be delivered in partnership with the iconic Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon (EFAT).
“We’re excited to confirm San Francisco, the French Riviera and Saudi Arabia as the final three legs of the 2026 T100 Triathlon World Tour,” said Sam Renouf, PTO CEO. “San Francisco and the French Riviera have proved themselves as iconic destinations and courses for our pro athletes this year and reflect our strategy and commitment to elevating triathlon on a global stage. Following our partnership with SURJ Sports Investment, we are excited to be bringing the T100 to Saudi Arabia – this is a great first output of our collaboration with the Saudi Triathlon Federation and our ambition to deliver world-class racing in the Kingdom to inspire a new generation of athletes and fans.”
T1 Returns In 2026 Alongside London T100 Triathlon
The PTO will look forward to 11 events next year after it also confirmed a return to Lievin, France, for the T1 Indoor World Cup, which it piloted successfully last year and consists of a 200m swim, 2.8km bike and 1km run. Uniquely, the event all takes place entirely live and indoors, with a specially built 25m pool situated within a 200m oval track, used for the bike and run segments.
In October, the PTO and World Triathlon announced that the World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) will return to London on 25-26 July, 2026, at the London T100 weekend, after deciding to switch out the professional 100km distance.
The final event of the 2025 T100 Tour takes place later this week at the inaugural Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final, 10-13 December. This event is the cornerstone of the wider agreement between the PTO, Visit Qatar, World Triathlon and the Qatar Triathlon Federation that will see Qatar host the T100 Triathlon World Championship Final from 2025 through 2029.
