Presented as a “multi-sport festival”, the weekend is built around two professional races over a distance of 100 km (2 km swimming, 80 km cycling, 18 km running, which therefore make up the T100):
– Men (20 best long distance athletes in the world) on Friday June 27
– Women (20 best long distance athletes in the world) on Saturday June 28.

Events open to all are also offered, including:

  • A “100 km” Triathlon (2 km swimming, 80 km cycling, 18 km running)
  • A so-called “Olympic” Triathlon (1,5 km swimming, 40 km cycling, 10 km running)
  • A so-called “SuperSprint” Triathlon (400m swimming, 8km cycling, 2km running)
  • A sea swimming event
  • Children and young people’s events and activities
  • A Fun Run
  • A 3-day open-air exhibition village

Hosted in the beautiful Estérel-Côte d'Azur region, the idyllic port towns of Fréjus and Saint-Raphaël will be the hub of the new T100 French Riviera Triathlon, which will see the world's best triathletes descend on it.

Two of the star attractions will be the French duo Léo Bergère and Vincent Luis advertisement for the entire 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour circuit. Léo Bergère will be a local for the stage, since he lives and trains in Saint-Raphaël.

"Estérel-Côte d'Azur is an exceptional territory to host an event such as the T100, which is revolutionizing Long Distance Triathlon. All the athletes are very excited to compete in this race. I expect sublime swimming, cycling and running courses. They will be presented soon”, said Bergère, winner of the 2022 Triathlon World Championships and bronze medalist at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.There is a very strong community of practitioners in the region, so the atmosphere promises to be exceptional for all participants. I therefore encourage everyone to come and participate in sport, or to come and support us!"

Vincent Luis, Tokyo 2020 Olympic mixed relay bronze medalist and two-time winner of the Triathlon World Championships, added: “Estérel Côte d'Azur offers a fantastic setting to host this first T100 triathlon in France. In addition to being an iconic location, the fans there are among the most knowledgeable in the world and I hope they will pass on their passion to as many people as possible.. "

« Being able to offer a wide range of events open to all, as well as the two professional T100 races, should make this a very special weekend." said Sam Renouf, CEO of PTO. In addition to coming to support the professionals on Friday and Saturday, I encourage anyone who has never competed in the area before to sign up for one of the amateur events. I am very reconborn from all the local support we have received throughout the Estérel Côte d'Azur and in particular in the cities of Fréjus and Saint-Raphaël. Following the success of Paris 2024, where France won several medals, the country is a reference in this sport and we are therefore delighted to introduce the T100 there for the first time. "

The PTO has so far announced seven T100 events for 2025, including: Singapore on April 5-6, for which bibs are selling very quickly; San Francisco from May 31-June 1; London on August 9-10, for which registration also opens today; Ibiza in September (dates TBD); Lake Las Vegas (dates TBD); and Dubai on November 15-16.
