Jeddah Triathlon Moves to April 2027
World Triathlon and T100 have postponed the Saudi Arabia T100 and World Triathlon Cup in Jeddah to April 16-17, 2027.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Middle East
The Saudi Arabia T100 and World Triathlon Cup in Jeddah, originally set for November 27-28, 2026, are now scheduled for April 16-17, 2027. Registration is open for the new dates.
Why it matters
The postponement gives organizers more preparation time after reviewing what was needed to host the first event in Saudi Arabia. The move also shifts the men's race schedule as T100 plans to hold the pro men's race in Dubai.
The announced schedule moves the Jeddah event from late November 2026 to mid-April 2027, while the planned Dubai men's race advances by two weeks. The organizers have not publicly specified the reasons for the postponement, and further preparation details remain pending.
