Dubai: The Professional Triathletes Organization (PTO) and World Triathlon have confirmed the final line-up for the Pro Dubai T100, set to take place on November 15, 2025.
This race serves as the penultimate stop on the 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour before December’s World Championship Final in Qatar, drawing 48 of the world’s top triathletes to Dubai.
New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde headlines the men’s field, arriving in Dubai after a flawless T100 season with consecutive victories in Singapore, London, the French Riviera, Spain, and Wollongong. His unbeaten record places him at the top of the T100 Race To Qatar standings, holding a strong lead with just two races remaining.
Challenging Wilde will be Belgium’s Jelle Geens, currently ranked second following a win in Vancouver, and Germany’s Mika Noodt, who stands third overall. The men’s race is expected to deliver an intense battle as contenders aim to close the gap ahead of the Doha finale.
In the women’s competition, Great Britain’s Kate Waugh leads the field following an impressive season that includes a decisive win in Wollongong and an early triumph in Singapore. Waugh currently tops the Race To Qatar leaderboard by nine points, narrowly ahead of compatriot Lucy Charles-Barclay, who will also compete in Dubai in what could prove a defining race before the championship event in Qatar.
The Pro Dubai T100 weekend will be held from November 13 to 16 as part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC), underscoring the emirate’s growing prominence as a global sporting destination. The event will feature a dynamic course that showcases Dubai’s iconic landmarks.
Athletes will begin their swim segment at Jumeirah 3 Beach – Sunset, transition into the cycling route past the Meydan Racecourse, and finish with a run that concludes under the shadow of the Burj Khalifa.
The inclusion of Dubai in the T100 World Tour highlights the city’s strong commitment to hosting elite international sporting events. The course layout and scenic backdrop are expected to provide a memorable experience for both athletes and spectators as the competition moves closer to its world championship conclusion in Qatar.
