What Is T100 Triathlon?
Everything you need to know about the ultimate global triathlon tour for pros and participants
T100 is triathlon,
redefined
20 of the world’s best professional triathletes – women and men – battling over a season of 7 breakneck 100km races in iconic locations around the globe in a bid to be crowned the first-ever T100 Triathlon World Champions.
Â
The T100 Triathlon World Tour is the official World Championship tour of long-distance triathlon, organised by the PTO (Professional Triathletes Organisation) and recognised by World Triathlon, the sport’s global governing body.
Why T100?
Named after our unique 100km format, T100 Triathlon is the sport reimagined: a 2km open-water swim that dictates the field of play, followed by an 80km bike course across varying terrain before a blistering 18km run to the finish line and glory. It’s the perfect combination of redline speed, human endurance and race strategy where it’ll take awesome strength, tactical prowess and perfect execution to take the tape first.
Â
The T100 Triathlon World Tour not only celebrates this 100km format but also enables age group athletes the unique opportunity to compete at the same iconic locations as the professionals – whether trying triathlon for the first time or looking to push your performance limits at this exciting new distance.
Pro Athletes
T100 Triathlon is the domain of the world’s best triathletes with 20 men and 20 women competing in every race. The majority of the athletes are contracted – either selected based on their PTO World Ranking or awarded a ‘Hotshot’ contract, earned by their standing in the sport outside of their PTO World Ranking Position.
Â
On top of that, there are ‘Wildcard’ athletes at each event – chosen by exceptional recent performances, top athletes coming back from injury or maternity or Olympians stepping up in distance.
Locations
The T100 Triathlon World Tour features 7 events around the world, providing seasoned fans and newcomers with the full, dramatic story of T100 triathlon pro athletes as they go to battle time and again to contest the T100 Triathlon World Championship title.
Â
The 2024 T100 Triathlon season kicked off in Miami in March, followed by Singapore in April, San Francisco in June, London in July, Ibiza in September, Lake Las Vegas in October and the Dubai T100 World Championship Final in November, where two new champions will etch their names into triathlon history.
