2026 T100 Changes
Things are different in 2026! Athlete contracts are no more – meaning there’s no guaranteed payday for any of the pros. Instead, it’ll all come down to performances on the day and who wants it most! Each race has an increased prize purse of $275,000 with the winner taking double the amount compared to 2025 – $50,000. Then, there’s another $725,000 per gender in the end-of-season T100 Standings with each T100 World Champion adding $100,000 to their winnings.
The schedule looks different too – not only are there new races on the calendar, but listening to athlete feedback about the amount of races they can perform at in top shape, the season is split into 4 women’s-only pro races and 4 men’s only pro races with both groups meeting up at the end of the year for the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championships. Each athlete’s final end-of-season score will be made up of their best 3 results plus their Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final points.

Athlete Selection
For the opening female and male races of the 2026 T100 season, the top-10 athletes in the 2025 T100 Standings are offered a race start, then the next top-5 ranked athletes in last year’s Contender Rankings. The remaining slots are discretionary Wildcards – these could be well-ranked athletes, those who have shown excellent race performances or short-course athletes with the pedigree to impact the racing.
For the remainder of the races (excluding the T100 World Championship Final) , slots are offered as: up to 10 T100 Top-10 athletes; 8* athletes ranked within the top 30 of the PTO World Rankings at the point of the initial 33 day pre-race cutoff; 2 discretionary Wildcard athletes.
Athletes in the top-24 of the T100 Race Tor Qatar standings will be invited to race in the T100 World Championship Final.
All athletes must meet the eligibility requirements of their National Triathlon Federations to be able to race.
Series Scoring
With 5 races per gender in the 2026 Triathlon World Tour (4 single-gender races plus the Qatar T100 World Championship Final), each athlete’s final score in the T100 Race To Qatar standings will be calculated based on their best 3 results plus their T100 World Championship Final score.
This gives athletes who commit to at least 4 events the best possible chance of finish strongly in the series and earn a bonus from the Race To Qatar prize pool. Meanwhile athletes who commit to all 5 races have the opportunity to better a previous result to put forward their best possible score.
The female and male athlete with highest total will each be crowned the 2026 T100 Triathlon World Champion.

Points
20 athletes of each gender will line up for each T100 Triathlon race. Every finishing position earns points, from 35 points for 1st place to 1 point for 20th in the T100 Race To Qatar Standings. To spice up the climax of the season, the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final will offer even more points to keep every athlete fighting for each position.

Ties
Throughout the T100 Tour Season, athletes with tied scores will be allocated positions in the T100 Race To Qatar standings via the following tie-breaker logic:
- First by the athlete with the best finishing position in the T100 Triathlon World Tour Final (if it has occurred);
- If the tie persists, the athlete with the best finishing position considering all T100 Events.
- If the tie persists, the athlete with the second best finishing position considering all T100 Events.
- If the tie persists, the athlete with the third best finishing position considering all T100 Events.
- If the tie persists, the athlete with the most recent T100 Event finish.
T100 Prize Money
