No Ticket Required 

The first London T100 Triathlon weekend is entirely free for spectators coming down, and includes a dedicated T100 Watch Party venue at the ExCel London Exhibition Centre for the very first time. 

The T100 Watch Party will enable fans to see the world’s best triathletes at least 16 times in the flesh during the entertaining 100km race format (2km swim, 80km run, 18km swim), including the start of the swim, the two transitions – from swim to bike and then bike to run – and then the exciting race finish. 

It will also feature a giant screen, complete with live commentary from the global broadcast feed, keeping everyone up to date with every moment and every overtake as the best endurance athletes on the planet hurtle around the twists and turns of the city-centre course. 

This spectator-friendly area will be situated in the ExCel London Exhibition Centre, overlooking where the race starts, with the swim in the Royal Victoria Dock, transition zones, then the bike leg, finishing with a multi-lap run course around the Docklands. 

In addition to the viewing party, there is opportunity to join the T100 Cheer Zones, which are located at the edge of Connaught Bridge, just outside of the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel. 

Due to a large number of road closures, spectators are advised and encouraged to access the ExCel Centre via DLR, Elizabeth Line or Cable Car. The closest stations to the venue are Custom House and Prince Regent.
