The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) has partnered with British Triathlon to deliver a 2026 European Championship standard distance triathlon qualifying race as part of its London T100 Triathlon weekend this summer (9-10 August).
Age Groupers will have the opportunity to earn the right to represent the Great Britain Age Group Team at the European Championships in 2026 by competing in the London T100 Olympic distance triathlon.
PTO CEO Sam Renouf, said “We’re delighted to partner with British Triathlon and give Great Britain Age Group athletes the chance to use the London T100 Triathlon event to qualify for the 2026 European Olympic Distance Triathlon Championships. Our first T100 event in London last year was a huge success, attracting almost 5,000 amateur triathletes to compete alongside 40 of the world’s best professional female and male triathletes, which led to an electric atmosphere in and around the ExCel over the weekend.”
British Triathlon CEO Ruth Daniels added “This is a great opportunity for our Age Group athletes to be part of this landmark T100 event in London after its successful debut last year. The atmosphere and support from a home crowd will make this a really special qualifying event that we know will inspire our Age Group athletes.”
To register and be eligible to qualify for the British Age Group Team athletes must register their intent to qualify here before 17:00 on the Friday before the race as well as entering the T100 Olympic distance triathlon qualifying race itself here.
Athletes who meet the eligibility requirements below and finish in the top four of their 2026 age group will qualify automatically. Athletes who finish within 120% of the winner of their age group’s finish time may still qualify if a slot in their age group rolls down to them.
Anyone who holds a British Triathlon Core or Ultimate membership and is a British national is eligible to try and qualify for the British Age Group Team. Athletes must also register their intent to qualify within their registration form to ensure they are allocated into a qualifier wave.
