International governing body World Triathlon has announced an additional race on its 2025 World Cup calendar: a brand-new sprint distance event in the town of San Pedro de la Paz, Chile.
Scheduled to take place on the weekend of November 8-9, 2025, the new event will offer elite and emerging triathletes a new challenge just a few days after the season’s penultimate race in Viña del Mar, Chile, on November 2, 2025.
This additional competition marks a milestone for South American triathlon, as it will be the region’s fourth World Cup event in 2025. World Triathlon notes that this that underscores the sport of triathlon’s growing prominence on the continent.
The new San Pedro de la Paz event will serve as a finale in the region, providing athletes with a final opportunity to race at the end of an action-packed season.
“With four World Cup events in South America, we are celebrating the growth of triathlon in this region,” said World Triathlon President, Antonio Arimany.
“The San Pedro race offers an exciting opportunity for athletes in the southern hemisphere to compete and showcase their talents amid incredible scenery. It also completes a remarkable sequence of races across the Americas, starting in Mexico and Brazil and culminating in Chile.
“I want to thank the Chile Federation for their commitment and support to our sport and events, and also to America Triathlon for their investment on hosting World Triathlon events in their region, which will bring their athletes more opportunities to race on home soil.”
The San Pedro de la Paz event will feature a Sprint distance race: a 750m swim, 20km bike, and 5km run, set amidst Chile’s desert and mountain landscapes. Its proximity to the Viña del Mar event stop and also the Brazilia World Cup two weeks before creates an end-of-season block for South American athletes and fans alike.
