In the T100 series, the French Riviera Triathlon will take place on May 15th in Fréjus-Saint-Raphaël . The event was already included in the initial 2027 T100 World Championship Tour calendar , although until now it was listed without a confirmed date.
Challenge Family integrates into the Challenger, but maintains the long distance
The incorporation of these Challenge Family events into the T100 Challenger level represents one of the main changes in the new structure.
The events will retain their organizers and host cities, but will compete under the Triathlon World Tour name from 2027.
Challenge Family's long-distance races will continue outside the T100 Challenger format. The organization has confirmed that Challenge Roth will remain the main event on its long-distance calendar.
World Triathlon and the PTO still have to complete the 2027 calendar. Following the announcement made in Pontevedra, the first Triathlon World Tour already has 48 races on its calendar and new additions are expected before the end of the year.
