PTO Tour becomes T100 Triathlon World Tour and offers 8 races in 2024
As was announced last month (see above), the T100 Triathlon World Tour has contracted 20 men and women to compete in the series, who must complete a minimum of 5 races plus the Grand Final. (Athletes who qualify for the Olympics will have to do 4 races and the Grand Final.) An athlete’s top three T100 race scores plus the Grand Final count towards the T100 World Championship. Each race will offer US$250,000 in prize money, with another $2 million handed out for the world championship rankings.
With 12 contracted athletes committed to the race, that means there will be 12 “wild card” entries available for the race – those will be announced tomorrow.
