TRIATHLON – THE Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) and Visit Qatar announced yesterday that the 2026 Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final will take place at Lusail City for the second year running from December 10 to 12 later this year.
Qatar’s vibrant waterfront city is preparing to host the climax to this season’s T100 Race To Qatar on the 2026 T100 Triathlon World Tour.
The event sees the world’s best professional triathletes race head-to-head in locations around the world, starting on the Gold Coast in March and taking in iconic venues such as Singapore, San Francisco, and London, before finishing with an end-of-season showdown at the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final. Last year, the women’s and men’s series were won by British Olympian Kate Waugh and New Zealand superstar Hayden Wilde – two former members of the Bahrain Victorious 13 team.
In Lusail, the athletes will compete over the PTO’s signature T100 distance – starting with a two-kilometre swim in the Arabian Gulf, an 80km bike through Lusail’s modern streets, and an 18km run through Lusail Plaza and Boulevard.
The 2026 Qatar T100 programme also includes the second edition of the T100 Age Grouper World Championships, which give amateurs their own chance to become a T100 World Champion.
To qualify, participants must finish in the top 10 of their age-group category at a T100 Triathlon World Tour event during the season, and then register before October 31.
