Dubai will host the second edition of the T100 Triathlon Weekend from November 13–16, with organisers promising it will be "bigger and better" as registrations open to amateur triathletes in the 100km race and Sprint distance.

Held by Dubai Sports Council (DSC) and the Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO), it will see athletes Marten Van Riel from Belgium and Taylor Knibb from US defend their titles.  

It will also see the introduction of a schools event and corporate relay to boost community involvement, with all three race categories expanded.

The Dubai race comes after T100 stops in Singapore, San Francisco and Vancouver, with London (August 9–10) up next.

Swiss athlete Julie Derron currently leads the women’s rankings, while Van Riel holds the top spot in the men’s standings.

“After the remarkable success of the 2024 debut, we are confident that the 2025 edition will attract global attention, contribute to the local economy and highlight Dubai’s diverse offerings to international audiences," added Ahmed Al Khaja, Chief Executive of Dubai Festivals and Retail Division.
