The fourth round of the T100 Triathlon World Tour will take place this weekend at the London T100, as the British capital hosts a PTO event for the first time ever.
Following action packed racing in Miami, Singapore and San Francisco, London promises to put on another top notch battle with a start list full of world class athletes.
In our preview piece below, you can find everything you need to know about the men’s race, including start times, how to watch live and who to keep an eye on. The women’s preview can be found here.
Start times and how to watch live
In London, the men’s race will be held on Sunday July 28. The live broadcast will begin at 13:45 local time, with the gun going off at 14:00. This corresponds to 15:00 in Europe, 09:00 on the East Coast and 06:00 on the West Coast.
The broadcast is available globally on PTO+, on Discovery+ in Europe, on YouTube (outside Europe) or via regional broadcasters (see the full list on the T100 website).
We will also embed here nearer the time and it will be available on various athlete YouTube channels as it won’t be on Eurosport given their blanket coverage of the Olympics.
Pro Men – Who is racing?
Whilst Alistair Brownlee will garner much of the attention in the build up to the race, Danish star Magnus Ditlev is the top ranked athlete, and returns to the 100km distance fresh off his third consecutive win at Challenge Roth.

The winner at the Miami T100, Ditlev crashed during race week at the Singapore T100 and was forced to withdraw, but bounced back to take fourth at the San Francisco T100 in California last month.
He will be joined by fellow T100 victor Youri Keulen, who was triumphant in Singapore in April, but not San Francisco winner Marten Van Riel, who is focusing on the Olympic Games in Paris where he will be representing Belgium.
Fortunately, Rico Bogen and Kyle Smith, who were both part of that epic three-way sprint for the win with Van Riel in San Francisco, return to the starting line in London, with Jan Stratmann and Gregory Barnaby joining Smith and Keulen as wildcards for the race.
PTO World #2 Sam Long, who currently leads the men’s standings, will be chasing a first T100 win after podium performances in Miami and Singapore, whilst his fellow Americans Ben Kanute, Rudy von Berg and Jason West look to get some solid points on the board.
IRONMAN World Champion Sam Laidlow, who won this event last year when it was run as Challenge London, is another athlete to watch out for after recently being disqualified at IRONMAN Vitoria-Gasteiz, with Scotsman David McNamee racing off the back of finishing runner-up at the race in Spain.

Brownlee, who was fifth in Miami and more recently 14th in San Francisco, will have the backing of the crowd on race day, and will hope to capitalize on this advantage to score some solid points, move up the standings and perhaps challenge for the podium.
Finally, Australian Max Neumann, who is currently unranked having not raced since May 2023, returns to the 100km distance. 14 months on from his legendary win at the PTO European Open in Ibiza, what can he bring to the table in his first race of the season?
Prize Money and Points
Racing for a total prize purse of $250,000, plus valuable T100 Tour points in London, there is plenty at stake. On race day, the winners will take home $25,000 and 35 points, with the prize money and points for each position outlined below.
