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 September 20, 2025.
The event will take place on the same weekend as the World Triathlon Cup Valencia.
The Valencia T100 event will see PTO’s top 20 male and top 20 female ranked triathletes 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 in Valencia 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.”
Antonio Arimany, World Triathlon President, said “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.
“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.”
José Hidalgo, President of the Spanish Triathlon Federation, added “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 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 events, including a return to Singapore on April 5-6, 2025, to start the new series. The series then moves to San Francisco (31 May-1 June), Vancouver (June 13-15), France (June 27-29), London (August 9-10), Valencia (September 20), Lake Las Vegas (date TBC), Dubai (November 15-16) and Qatar (December 12-13).
Each athlete will have to compete in at least five T100 races during the season, with their four best scores combined with their result in the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final, where points will be increased, contributing to their overall T100 standing.
