T100 French Riviera 2025: The triathlon that aims to match Roth and Kona
The PTO's dream: to be like Kona or Roth
The South of France is preparing for a historic moment in the world of triathlon. In 2025, Saint-Raphaël and Fréjus will host one of the most anticipated tests of the T100 Triathlon World Tour, the international series promoted by the PTO which seeks to redefine the middle and long distance.
La French Riviera will not only be the scene of this 100 km race for professionals and age groups, but will share the spotlight with a test of the Triathlon World Series (WTCS), setting up a very special weekend in the history of this sport.
A circuit designed for the show
The route, with start and finish at the Base Nature de Fréjus, will travel along coastal roads with views of the Mediterranean, challenging slopes and picture-postcard landscapes. Sam renouf, CEO of the PTO, said that this is one of the venues that has taken them the longest to plan:
“We wanted a place that combined accessibility, natural beauty, and a course that would challenge triathletes. We found it all here.”
