Professional Triathletes Organization to Partner with Visit Qatar

The Professional Triathletes Organization’s T100 Triathlon World Tour final will take place in Qatar for the next five years starting this year in Doha from December 11–13 and be renamed the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final.

The 2025 final will see the swim taking place in the Arabian Gulf and then the bike and run legs winding around the cities of Doha and Lusail. The event will include a multisport festival weekend featuring a series of swim, bike and run events for amateur athletes.

“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, as happens in many other professional sports,” said Sam Renouf, PTO chief executive officer. “This five-year partnership with Visit Qatar allows us to do exactly that.”

The 2025 tour schedule starts in Singapore from April 5–6 before events in San Francisco (May 31–June 1), Vancouver (June 13–15), France (June 27–29), London (August 9–10), Spain, Lake Las Vegas, Dubai (November 15–16) and Qatar.

“We are delighted to partner with the Professional Triathletes Organisation to host the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final in our vibrant cities for the next five years,” said Abdulaziz Al-Mawlawi, chief executive officer of Visit Qatar. “This collaboration further strengthens Qatar’s position as a global hub for sports tourism, inspiring both professional athletes and enthusiasts alike.”

The inaugural T100 Triathlon World Tour season in 2024 saw the world’s top 20 female and top 20 male triathletes compete head-to-head across global locations including Singapore, San Francisco, Miami, London, Ibiza, Las Vegas and Dubai. The PTO and World Triathlon are developing a qualification system this year based on providing slots at each T100 event on top of the traditional quota system allocated to each National Federation.

The list of athletes who will compete on the 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour — including many Olympic and world champions from 13 different countries — was announced earlier this month, including American Taylor Knibb, who won the inaugural women’s T100 Triathlon World Championship Finals last year.

“The T100 Triathlon World Championship Final represents a new chapter for our sport, combining elite competition with global accessibility and participation,” said Antonio Arimany, president of World Triathlon. “As we continue to grow triathlon around the world, confirming the presence of the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final on the calendar for the next five years is another major milestone for our great sport in this dynamic region.”
