• First time a World Triathlon World Cup and T100 World Tour event will be staged together – creating a mega weekend of top tier racing for triathlon fans

London, UK – The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO), World Triathlon and the Spanish Triathlon Federation (FETRI) have announced that Valencia will host the Spanish leg of the T100 Triathlon World Tour for the first time on Saturday 20 September. The event will take place on the same weekend as the World Triathlon Cup Valencia. 

The Valencia T100 stage will see the top 20 male and top 20 female triathletes in the world go head-to-head over the 100km distance (2km swim, 80km bike, 18km run) as part of a season-long schedule that will culminate in the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final.   The racing will take place in and around La Marina de Valencia looking out on the Balearic Sea; the same venue that will host the elite World Triathlon World Cup.

“This will be the first time a T100 race and a World Triathlon World Cup event have both been staged in the same city,” said PTO CEO Sam Renouf. “Meaning the eyes of the triathlon world will be watching the city that weekend and will see a celebration of the Valencia community.” 

“By merging our efforts with PTO and the Spanish Federation, and delivering the T100 and the World Cup events in Valencia on the same weekend, we are proving once again the greatness of the partnership, and it also offers numerous benefits, including amplifying the excitement surrounding the races. It allows participants, spectators, and local communities to experience a vibrant celebration of triathlon, creating a more inclusive environment where fans can witness world-class performances and participate in mass participation events. Additionally, the collaboration enhances logistical efficiencies and maximizes resources, ensuring a seamless and high-quality experience for everyone involved,” said Antonio F. Arimany, World Triathlon Elected President.  

José Hidalgo, President of the Spanish Triathlon Federation highlighted that: “The Spanish Triathlon Federation is very happy to announce the T100 circuit will continue to visit Spain this season and that we will continue to be a place of reference in these competitions. Taking advantage of the World Cup in Valencia, we are once again facing an innovative challenge, hosting both competitions on the same date and in the same venue for the first time. T100 wanted to continue in Spain, as it is a key country in the world of triathlon and we also want to live up to the expectations. We are looking forward to the first competition in which both entities, World Triathlon and T100, will coexist.”

 The Valencia councillor for Festivities and Traditions, Culture and Sports, José Luis Moreno, said: “We would like to thank the International Triathlon Federation, together with the national and regional federations and the PTO, for trusting our city to host a sporting event that will bring together the 40 best athletes in the world in this discipline. In addition, this event has generated in previous editions a direct economic impact of 7.5 million euros and a worldwide television audience of 7.4 million viewers in 195 countries around the world with an advertising return of more than 50 million euros.”

The Valencia World Cup was added to the World Triathlon calendar in 2020 and since then has seen Olympic and World medallists compete in the city, including Gwen Jorgensen, Vincent Luis, Alistair Brownlee, Beth Potter, Kristian Blummenfelt and Lisa Terstch. 

In addition to the elite races, there will be a number of mass participation events throughout the weekend, including sprint and super sprint distances.

 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-1 June), Vancouver (13-15 June), France (27-29 June), London (9-10 August), Valencia (20 September), Lake Las Vegas, Dubai (15-16 November) and Qatar (12-13 December). 

The full list of male athletes can be found here and the full list of female athletes can be found here, including Spanish star Marta Sanchez. Each athlete will have to compete in at least five T100 races during the season, with their four best scores plus their result in the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final, where points will be increased, contributing to their final T100 standing. Wildcard athletes were also a huge attraction during the 2024 series, including Spaniard Antonio Benito, who finished 6th in the Ibiza T100 event.
