The final of the T100 triathlon world championship will take place in Qatar for the next five years, organisers said on Tuesday.
The new race series for longer distance triathlon (2km swim, 80km bike, 18km run), offering more than $7 million in compensation, was jointly launched last year by the Professional Triathletes Organisation and governing body World Triathlon.
American Taylor Knibb, 26, and Belgian Marten Van Riel, 32, clinched the first women’s and men’s titles in November, with the final taking place in Dubai.
The 2025 final event will be staged in Doha from Dec. 11-13, with the swim taking place in the Gulf while the bike and run legs will wind around the cities of Doha and Lusail.
