This year, T100 have made big changes to their race schedule, with eight pro events split into four women’s and four men’s races, followed by a joint season finale. Our elites will once again race it out in some of the iconic T100 locations, including the Gold Coast, Singapore, Spain, San Francisco, Vancouver, the French Riviera, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Next up, it’s the men’s second race of the season in San Francisco, USA.

The 2026 T100 Triathlon World Tour officially started with a pro women’s race in Queensland on Australia’s Gold Coast. Meanwhile, the first men’s race of the season took place in Singapore the following month. T100 says that this new split schedule is a decision made from “listening to athlete feedback about the number of races [the pros] can perform at in top shape”.

So here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 nine-event T100 Tour, who will be racing the next race, and crucially, how to make sure you don’t miss a second of the action…

What is the T100 Triathlon World Tour?

The T100 Triathlon World Tour is a race series that’s recognised by World Triathlon as the official world championship tour of long-distance triathlon. Forty of the world’s best female and male pros (20 each gender) compete over nine races culminating in the T100 Grand Final in Qatar, in December.

For 2026, the top 10 of each gender from 2025’s T100 Tour rankings automatically received an invite to race. A further 8 for each gender are filled from the PTO top-30 World Rankings, reflective of outstanding performances in 2025. And then there are two ‘Wildcard’ (non-contracted) athletes for each event. These are chosen based on exceptional recent performances, top athletes coming back from injury or maternity or more Olympians stepping up in distance. They can still earn prize money, points, and the chance at a 2027 contract.

Selection for the season’s opening races is based on the top-10 athletes in the 2025 T100 Standings and the next top-5 ranked athletes in last year’s Contender Rankings. Then, the remaining slots are discretionary Wildcards. This year, athletes are racing for a hefty prize fund, which has seen a healthy increase for 2026. Over the whole race series, a huge $4.2M prize purse is in play, with men’s and women’s prizes of equal value throughout.

T100 explains: “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.”

How does the T100 points system work?

Athletes score 35 points for first place to one point for 20th place at each of the nine races, which contribute towards their T100 ‘Race To Qatar’ ranking. The Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final has increased points – 55 points down to four points. Each athlete’s best four T100 race scores including the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final will count towards the women’s and men’s T100 World Championship titles.

What happened in the T100 Series in 2025?

The T100 season opened in Singapore with a shock victory for Kate Waugh in the women’s race, while Hayden Wilde defeated fellow Olympic medallist Léo Bergere in the men’s event. Round two in San Francisco brought first-time T100 wins for Rico Bogen and Julie Derron, the latter beating defending champion Taylor Knibb, with Waugh third. Knibb returned to form in Vancouver to win ahead of Derron and Jess Learmonth, while Jelle Geens took the men’s race ahead of Marten Van Riel.

London produced standout moments: Lucy Charles-Barclay secured her first T100 victory, and Wilde completed a remarkable comeback win just months after a serious training crash. In the French Riviera, Ashleigh Gentle surged to victory with the fastest run, while Wilde edged Geens for his third win. Wilde then dominated in Spain to take the series lead, while Charles-Barclay led an all-British women’s podium. In Wollongong, Waugh won by over five minutes and Wilde continued his streak with a fifth straight victory.

The penultimate race in Dubai descended into chaos when the leading men rode an extra bike lap and run lap counts caused confusion. Although Mika Noodt crossed the line first, officials reviewed the timing and declared Morgan Pearson the winner. Derron won the women’s race ahead of Waugh and Learmonth.

The season concluded at the T100 Grand Final in Lusail, Qatar. Waugh dug deep after exiting the swim with the leaders before pulling clear late on the run to win the race and seal the inaugural T100 world title ahead of Georgia Taylor-Brown and Julie Derron. Wilde also dominated the men’s final, winning the race ahead of Pearson and Van Riel to secure the overall 2025 T100 world championship.

What’s happened in 2026 so far?

Two races have happened so far in the men’s and women’s T100 series in the build-up to the grand finale in Qatar.

The women kicked off the season in March on the Gold Coast, with America’s Taylor Knibb taking the victory. Jessica Fullagar came second after setting the fastest swim split of the day, followed by Switzerland’s Imogen Simmonds.

In the second race of the women’s T100, Taylor-Brown celebrated golden glory in Spain – her first-ever T100 win. The Brit came in just over a minute ahead of second-place Julie Derron. Taylor Spivey rounded out the final podium.

The men’s race started in Singapore in April, after the split-gender race decision meant that the male and female pros would race in different locations until Qatar. It was Australia’s Hayden Wilde who won in the humid Singaporean heat, with a time of 3:21:58. Samuel Dickinson, who had the quickest swim leg of the day, however, it just wasn’t quick enough to keep Wilde on the bike. Dickinson placed second overall, followed by Mika Noodt.

San Francisco was the next location for the men’s race, and there was a new winner – Rico Bogen. He and his German rival, Lasse Nygaard Priester, kept Wilde from reaching the top step of the podium for what could have been a back-to-back T100 win. The Aussie had to settle for third in the end.

Where is the T100 Vancouver Women’s Pro race?

The Vancouver women’s T100 will take place on 15 August in Vancouver – a major coastal seaport city in British Columbia, Canada.

They will start at Jericho Sailing Centre for the two-lap swim that will see them do an Aussie exit from Locarno Beach. The bike route, which is split into three sections – section one: 7.64km, section two: five laps of a 14.11km lap, and section three: 1.82km – will see the women go out to Pacific Spirit Regional Park and back again.

What distances will athletes race in the Vancouver T100?
