New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde will headline the men's race at the Pro Dubai T100 on November 15, while Great Britain’s Kate Waugh will take the lead for the women's race.

Wilde arrives in Dubai on a perfect T100 streak after wins in Singapore, London, the French Riviera, Spain and Wollongong. 

“This is one of the best unbeaten streaks I’ve been on as a professional so I just want to keep the momentum going and not give the others even a sniff," said Wilde who has embarked upon a remarkable comeback from injury following a horror bike crash in Japan at the start of May. "Dubai is another great venue for us to race in, which I’m really looking forward to.” 

Pro Dubai T100 will be the penultimate stop on the 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour before December’s World Championship Final in Qatar.

He’ll be pressed by Jelle Geens – a winner in Vancouver and currently second in the standings – and Germany’s Mika Noodt in third. 

Confirming the line-up, Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) and World Triathlon said the women's side will see Waugh, who tops the Race to Qatar by nine points, alongside compatriot Lucy Charles-Barclay, in what will be a crucial swing ahead of the Doha finale.

Waugh comes after a statement victory in Wollongong to add to her season-opening win in Singapore. “I’ve gained huge confidence doing the T100 Tour this year. It’s been so refreshing working with everyone on the T100 team,” she said. 

“I’m really looking forward to racing in Dubai. I’ve heard great things about the course there and always enjoy visiting the city.”

No matter the fitness level, there is something for everyone over the weekend.
