The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) and World Triathlon have confirmed the full lineup for the Pro Dubai T100, scheduled for Saturday, 15th November 2025. The event serves as the penultimate stop on the prestigious T100 Triathlon World Tour, which will conclude with the World Championship Final in Qatar this December.
A total of 48 of the world’s leading male and female triathletes will take part in this high-profile competition, showcasing speed, endurance, and determination in the heart of Dubai.
New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde arrives in Dubai as the man to beat. He remains unbeaten in the 2025 T100 season, having won in Singapore, London, the French Riviera, Spain, and Wollongong. His consistent victories have placed him firmly at the top of the T100 Race To Qatar standings with only two races remaining.
Challenging him will be Jelle Geens from Belgium, the winner of the Vancouver T100, who currently holds the second position in the rankings. Germany’s Mika Noodt, sitting third overall, will also look to make a strong statement in Dubai and close the gap ahead of the finale in Qatar.
On the women’s side, Kate Waugh of Great Britain leads the competition after a commanding win in Wollongong, adding to her earlier victory in Singapore. With two wins this season, she tops the Race To Qatar standings by nine points over her compatriot Lucy Charles-Barclay.
Both British athletes are confirmed to compete in Dubai, setting up a thrilling head-to-head battle that could shape the final championship outcome. Their rivalry is expected to be one of the main highlights of the event.
The men’s race will begin at 11:30 AM local time, while the women’s race will start at 1:30 PM. Live coverage of the men’s race will begin 15 minutes before the start, ensuring fans around the world can follow the intense action as it unfolds.
The race course will take athletes on a dynamic and scenic route, beginning on the shores of Jumeirah 3 Beach - Sunset. Competitors will then tackle the cycling segment passing by Meydan Racecourse before completing their run with a dramatic finish near the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.
The Dubai T100 returns as part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC), an annual city-wide initiative encouraging residents and visitors to lead active lifestyles. The event will run from 13th to 16th November, offering participants and spectators a weekend filled with sporting energy and community engagement.
With its world-class organization and scenic backdrops, the Dubai T100 continues to stand out as one of the premier international triathlon events on the global sports calendar.
The Dubai T100 is not only a competition of physical endurance but also one of mental strength and tactical racing. Athletes must balance stamina and strategy across swimming, cycling, and running segments to maintain their lead in the global standings.
Hayden Wilde and Kate Waugh’s performances will be closely watched, as both have been in outstanding form this season. Their rivals, including Geens, Noodt, and Charles-Barclay, are eager to capitalize on any opportunity to narrow the race for the overall T100 title.
Following the Dubai T100, all attention will shift to Qatar, where the World Championship Final will take place in December. The Dubai event will be crucial in determining who carries momentum and ranking advantage into the last showdown of the 2025 T100 season.
For both fans and athletes, the Pro Dubai T100 promises a weekend of high-intensity competition, international camaraderie, and unforgettable sporting moments against the stunning backdrop of one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
