Dubai is set to become the epicenter of global triathlon as the world’s top 48 professional athletes descend upon the city for the Pro Dubai T100 event on Saturday, November 15. This penultimate round of the 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour will play a decisive role in determining the final lineup for the World Championship in Qatar this December, making it one of the most anticipated sporting contests of the season.
The men’s race features an electrifying showdown, headed by New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde, who arrives in Dubai with a perfect, undefeated season. Having claimed victory in every stage from Singapore to Wollongong, Wilde is the clear favorite. His closest rivals, Belgian Jelle Geens and Germany’s Mika Noodt, will be pushing to close the points gap and disrupt his winning streak in a final attempt to challenge his lead before the world finals.
In the women’s competition, Britain’s Kate Waugh holds a narrow lead after her commanding win in Wollongong added to her earlier victory in Singapore. She leads her compatriot, the formidable Lucy Charles-Barclay, by a mere nine points, setting the stage for a dramatic head-to-head battle along Dubai’s iconic course. The event will unfold against the stunning backdrop of the Burj Khalifa and other city landmarks, offering a visually spectacular setting for the grueling race. The T100 series represents the premier league of long-distance triathlon, featuring a 2km swim, 80km bike ride, and 18km run. The Dubai leg is renowned for its fast, flat course, which often leads to record-breaking performances, though the potential for desert heat adds a significant endurance challenge. The men’s race begins at 11:30 AM local time, followed by the women’s race at 1:30 PM, with global live broadcasts bringing the action to fans worldwide.
