London, UK: The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) has confirmed its Lake Las Vegas T100 Triathlon weekend will take place on 25-26 October in Henderson, NV and also announced a spectacular new amateur bike course.
The event will once again take place around the picturesque Lake Las Vegas on the grounds of Reflection Bay Golf Club and The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa (picture below), which this year becomes the ‘Official Headquarters of Lake Las Vegas T100 Triathlon’.
New for 2025 will be an improved 80km bike route for amateur participants doing the 100km triathlon (2km swim, 80km bike, 18km run), that takes in America’s first National Recreation Area at Lake Mead – a year-round national park offering a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance. Amateurs will do a single loop, out and back course, that will navigate its way through the park’s mountains, canyons and valleys.

It’s a place where natural grandeur meets peaceful solitude, offering a unique and unforgettable connection to the wild heart of the American Southwest. All just a stone’s throw from the dazzling lights of Las Vegas. The run climax to the race will also be different for this year, with the famous LED T100 finish arch being situated waterside at the Reflection Bay Golf Club.
Commenting on the news, PTO CEO Sam Renouf said:
“We are very excited to be able to announce such a significant course upgrade for the Lake Las Vegas T100 event in 2025. The inaugural staging of this event in 2024 opened everyone’s eyes to the beauty and possibilities of Lake Las Vegas and the surrounding area. Which has been a significant factor in now being able to secure a bike course which will take our amateur participants into the stunning Lake Mead National Recreation Area. An extraordinary outdoor playground where desert landscapes meet the tranquil blues of sprawling reservoirs.”
The new bike course will be a stern test for the amateurs, with more than 3,600 feet of elevation, which promises to be the most on a T100 circuit in 2025.
City of Henderson Mayor Michelle Romero, who was instrumental in bringing the T100 series to Lake Las Vegas in 2024 and has worked hard locally to secure this new, improved for traffic course for 2025, said:
“Southern Nevada, and especially Henderson, has become a premier sports and entertainment destination and last year, the Lake Las Vegas T100 showcased the world’s best professionals racing head-to-head on a global broadcast seen by more than 10 million fans around the globe. The event also featured the brightest amateurs from the triathlon and endurance sports community, and all participants and attendees enjoyed the diverse and beautiful backdrop of Lake Las Vegas in Henderson. This is a great tourism opportunity for our City and we look forward to welcoming the Lake Las Vegas T100 show back for 2025!”
As well as the 100km professional and amateur events, the weekend will also see individual 2km and 4km open water swims in Lake Las Vegas.
The 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour got under way in Singapore earlier this month (5-6 April) when Great Britain’s Kate Waugh and New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde produced two world class performances to win in the heat and humidity of the Lion City and take the lead in the T100 Race To Qatar Rankings. The next leg of the T100 Tour will be in San Francisco on 31 May, when the world top 20 female and top 20 male triathletes will take on the legendary Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon – a bucket list race for both professionals and amateurs worldwide.
