Also this weekend
Registration is at 'Get Priority Access' sign-up only. T100's own site lists this as a two-day event, 17-18 July 2027, with age-group distances explicitly marked TBC — no Sprint, Olympic or other distance breakdown has been published, and it isn't yet known which day carries which distance.
Leg 1 of 3
Swim — 2km
Venice Beach is an open Pacific Ocean beach venue, so an open-water sea swim is the expected format — but T100 has not published an actual swim course, lap structure, or confirmed distance for age-groupers here. The 2km figure shown reflects the standard T100 100km-race split used series-wide, applied here because T100's own participate page markets this event with '100km' framing; it is not an organiser-confirmed distance for this specific venue.
- Venue
- The Pacific Ocean, off Venice Beach
- Elevation gain
- No official figure published — see notes above
- Surface
- Sea — open water, exposed Pacific Ocean beach (not a sheltered bay).
Wetsuit: Not published. Applying the general T100/World Triathlon banding (mandatory below 15.9°C, prohibited above 24.6°C) against Venice Beach's typical mid-July Pacific water temperature — commonly cited around 18-20°C (roughly 65-68°F) — an optional-wetsuit swim looks likely, but this is an inference from general banding and typical sea temperatures, not a confirmed rule for this event.
Leg 2 of 3
Bike — 80km
No bike route has been published. The 80km figure again reflects the standard T100 100km split rather than a confirmed distance for this venue — see the swim entry above for the same caveat.
- Venue
- Venice Beach and Los Angeles (exact route not yet announced)
- Elevation gain
- No official figure published — see notes above
- Surface
- Road — not yet described by the organiser.
Non-drafting
Leg 3 of 3
Run — 18km
No run route has been published. The 18km figure again reflects the standard T100 100km split rather than a confirmed distance for this venue — see the swim entry above for the same caveat.
- Venue
- Venice Beach and Los Angeles (exact route not yet announced)
- Elevation gain
- No official figure published — see notes above
- Surface
- Road/path — not yet described by the organiser.

Where T100 Los Angeles starts and finishes
T100 Los Angeles starts at Venice Beach, Los Angeles, California (exact swim/transition site not yet announced beyond "Venice Beach"; the LA28 Olympic plan places transition and finish "where Venice Boulevard meets the sand") and finishes at The Pacific Ocean, off Venice Beach. We haven't been able to place those on a map accurately enough to show one — a pin in the wrong place is worse than no pin.
These are the start and finish points, not the route. Verus doesn't hold course files for this race, and drawing a line between two pins would be a guess you might end up training on.
What you can qualify for
Not confirmed either way. T100's Qatar Age-Group World Championships pathway applies to its 100km mass-participation races; since Los Angeles's own distance format isn't yet confirmed — and may turn out to be a T50 Olympic-distance event rather than T100 (see otherDistancesInfo/FAQs) — whether it will carry qualifying status is genuinely unknown.
Entry & Ballot
Direct entry summary
This is a bare-bones, not-yet-open listing. T100's participate page shows Venice Beach for 17-18 July 2027 at 'Get Priority Access' only, with no pricing published. Worth knowing: the PTO/World Triathlon's own 2027 Championship Calendar announcement separately lists the elite Los Angeles race (16-18 July 2027) under the T50 World Championship Tour — the Olympic-distance, ex-WTCS series, explicitly described as a dress rehearsal for the LA28 Olympics — not the T100 (100km) Tour. It is not clear from published sources whether this means a full T100 100km age-group race runs alongside a T50 pro race that same weekend, or whether the '100km'-style framing on T100's own site is provisional. Both sources are accurately reported here rather than resolved by guesswork.

Race Day Info & Checklist
On the day
- Venice Beach was selected in 2025 as the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Triathlon/Para Triathlon venue, replacing an originally planned Long Beach course after negotiations between the City of Santa Monica and LA28 organisers fell through. The Olympic plan places the transition area and finish 'where Venice Boulevard meets the sand.'
- Venice Beach itself has no prior history of hosting a major triathlon. The USA Triathlon Legacy Triathlon, founded in 2019 specifically to test the pre-2025 planned Olympic course, has run at Long Beach — whether it now moves to Venice Beach or continues at Long Beach hasn't been confirmed in the sources checked.
- There is a genuine, unresolved naming question here: the official PTO/World Triathlon 2027 Championship Calendar (announced alongside the new 'Triathlon World Tour' brand) lists the elite Los Angeles race, 16-18 July 2027, under the T50 World Championship Tour — the rebranded former WTCS, run at Olympic distance (1.5km/40km/10km) — explicitly framed as a dress rehearsal for the LA28 Games. T100's own consumer-facing participate page nonetheless shows a 'Los Angeles' card styled like its other T100-branded city cards. Since this page is what the brief for this file points to, that framing is used for this entry's slug/name, but the T50 detail is flagged here rather than hidden.
- General T100-wide prize money and format figures from other T100 venues are not assumed to apply here, given the T50-vs-T100 uncertainty above.
Checklist
- Nothing to prepare yet — this event is at priority-access sign-up only, with no confirmed distances, pricing, or date-by-day schedule
- Sign up for T100 priority access if you want to be notified when real registration details land
- Watch for clarification on whether this is a T100 (100km) or T50 (Olympic-distance) event, or both across the weekend, before assuming which race you would actually be entering

Frequently Asked Questions
When is T100 Los Angeles 2027?
T100's own site lists 17-18 July 2027 at Venice Beach. Note the PTO/World Triathlon's official 2027 calendar separately dates the elite Los Angeles race 16-18 July 2027 — a one-day discrepancy between the two published sources that hasn't been reconciled.
Is T100 Los Angeles a T100 or a T50 race?
Genuinely unclear from what's published. T100's consumer participate page markets Venice Beach with T100-style '100km' framing. The PTO/World Triathlon's own 2027 Championship Calendar announcement lists the elite Los Angeles race under the T50 World Championship Tour (Olympic distance, the rebranded former WTCS) instead, describing it as a dress rehearsal for the LA28 Olympics. Both are reported here rather than picked between.
What distances does T100 Los Angeles offer?
Not published. T100's site says age-group distances are TBC. If the event follows the T50 calendar listing instead, the elite distance would be Olympic-length (1.5km/40km/10km) rather than the 100km T100 format.
Has Venice Beach hosted a triathlon before?
Not that research found. It was selected in 2025 as the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Triathlon venue, replacing an originally planned Long Beach course, but has no prior triathlon-hosting history of its own.
Can I enter T100 Los Angeles now?
No — registration is at 'Get Priority Access' sign-up only, with no pricing or entry date published.
Do you need a wetsuit at T100 Los Angeles?
Not published. Applying general T100 banding against typical mid-July Venice Beach water temperatures (roughly 18-20°C) suggests an optional-wetsuit swim is likely, but this is an inference, not a confirmed rule.
Does T100 Los Angeles qualify you for the Qatar Age-Group World Championships?
Not confirmed either way. That pathway applies to T100 100km mass-participation races; since Los Angeles's own distance format isn't yet confirmed (see the T100-vs-T50 question above), whether it will carry qualifying status is unknown.
When were T100 Los Angeles results published?
No results exist yet — this will be a brand-new event, if and when it runs as described. Check back here once real race details and, eventually, results are published.
