This was our preview and live stream of T100 Vancouver 2025 – you can read full reports and results on how Jelle Geens and Taylor Knibb claimed brilliant Pro race victories.

The Professional Triathletes Organisation’s (PTO) flagship series, the T100 Triathlon World Tour, moves on to British Columbia this weekend for Vancouver T100.

It’s a welcome return to Canada, which hosted the first ever  PTO Tour event in Edmonton in 2022, when Norwegian duo Gustav Iden and Kristian Blummenfelt dominated an incident-packed men’s race while Australian great Ashleigh Gentle bossed the women’s race.

This is the first visit to Canada for the T100 Triathlon World Tour though, and World Champion Marten Van Riel will lead a top-class men’s start list which also features Belgian compatriot Jelle Geens, the only man to beat him over 100km in 2024.

On the women’s side, a stacked field includes local superstar Paula Findlay taking on reigning T100 World Champion Taylor Knibb (USA), Britain’s Lucy Charles-Barclay, Julie Derron (SUI) and the aforementioned Gentle.

Which Pro Men are racing?

It looks very much like a battle between the Belgians with 2024 T100 World Champion Marten Van Riel facing off against fellow Belgian superstar and IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion Jelle Geens.

Van Riel hasn’t quite put it all together yet this year, finishing second at IRONMAN South Africa, third in the Singapore T100 and sixth in the San Francisco T100. But he is ranked number two in the world by the PTO and he did win a trio of 100km events during the 2024 season – including that scintillating sprint finish victory over New Zealand’s Kyle Smith in San Francisco.

Geens finished second in San Francisco this year behind Rico Bogen of Germany – another contender – but is ranked number one in the world and won IRONMAN 70.3 Geelong in March before failing to finish in the brutal heat of T100 Singapore.

Also in the mix is American ‘Big Unit’ Sam Long, who finished eighth in Singapore but is now on a winning streak after back-to-back victories at IRONMAN 70.3 Chattanooga and IRONMAN 70.3 Eagleman.

Which Pro Women are racing?

The brilliant Taylor Knibb won six races last year and is ranked number one in the world so still very much the woman to beat, despite finishing second at both IRONMAN Texas and T100 San Francisco so far in 2025.

Paula Findlay meanwhile will be hoping to ride a wave of home support to another win after two IRONMAN 70.3 victories at Oceanside and St George this year.

The two T100 winners from 2025 so far will both line up here, with brilliant Singapore victor Kate Waugh (GBR) and San Francisco podium topper Julie Derron (SUI) in action. Both will pose major threats to Knibb.

Britain’s 2021 IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion and 2023 IRONMAN World Champion Lucy Charles-Barclay is also set to line up, bidding to follow up her terrific victory at IRONMAN 70.3 Eagleman last weekend. She is joined on the start list by Australia’s Gentle and Bermuda’s Olympic champion Flora Duffy.

With British Olympic Mixed Relay gold medallist Jess Learmonth and US short-course star Taylor Spivey (USA) also in the mix, this should be one of the races of the season.

One athlete who sadly won’t be on the start line is Britain’s India Lee, winner at T100 in Miami last year. She was unable to travel after picking up a cough and cold this week.

Prize Money and Points

Racing for a total prize purse of $250,000, plus valuable T100 Tour points, there is plenty at stake. On race day, the winners will take home $25,000 and 35 points, with the prize money and points for each position outlined below.

T100 Vancouver course

The 80km bike course takes in four scenic laps past the golden sands of Spanish Banks, climbs toward the prestigious University of British Columbia, offering sweeping panoramic views before a thrilling descent back toward the coast.
