STRENGTH. ENDURANCE. PERFORMANCE.

The T100 World Triathlon Tour is going to Qatar, with the the World Championship Final set to be staged there for the next five years.

The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO), Visit Qatar, World Triathlon and Qatar Triathlon Federation announced the news on Tuesday.

Last year, the inaugural T100 Tour saw the world’s top 20 female and top 20 male triathletes compete head-to-head on a live global broadcast feed in a series of iconic locations, including Singapore, San Francisco, London, Ibiza, Las Vegas and Dubai (which hosted the Final).

Knibb, Van Riel head stellar line-up

Now, the 2025 Final will be staged in Doha from December 11-13, with the swim taking place in the Arabian Gulf and the bike and run legs winding their way around the cities of Doha and Lusail.

A star-studded list of athletes from 13 different countries will compete, led by US and Belgian Olympians Taylor Knibb and Marten Van Riel, last year’s first ever T100 series World Champions.

Van Riel said: “Having seen what the first T100 Final delivered last year, with almost 10,000 amateur athletes getting involved, I’ve no doubt this year’s Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final will be a huge success.”

The multisport festival weekend will also feature a series of swim, bike and run events for amateur athletes, including the opportunity to take on the same, new 100km triathlon distance as the professionals.

PTO chief on Qatar deal

PTO CEO Sam Renouf said: “We’ve been very clear with our strategy for the T100 Triathlon World Tour to visit iconic locations, along with our desire to position the series as a race to one ‘hero’ destination.

“This five-year partnership with Visit Qatar allows us to do exactly that, with the season-long series now being known as the T100 Race to Qatar.”

The 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour will take place across nine races, including a return to Singapore on 5-6 April, to start the new series, then San Francisco (31 May-1June), Vancouver (13-15 June), France (27-29 June), London (9-10 August), Spain, Lake Las Vegas, Dubai (15-16 November) and Qatar (12-13 December).
