The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) has signed a strategic partnership with DHL, the world’s leading logistics company, for the final three 2026 T100 Triathlon World Tour events in Dubai (13-15 November), Saudi Arabia (27 November) and then the T100 World Championship Finals in Qatar (10-12 December).
The agreement will see DHL Global Event Logistics serve as the ‘Official Logistics Partner’ for the three events, using its integrated international freight and event logistics solutions. Including the movement of equipment and event-related materials required to deliver the three GCC events, as well as international inbound and outbound freight movements and associated logistics requirements.
The logistics program will place particular emphasis on planning, customs compliance, freight visibility, operational coordination and time-critical delivery, helping ensure that equipment and materials arrive in full, on time and accurately throughout the T100 GCC event cycle.
Commenting on the new partnership, Sue Donoghue, DHL Global Forwarding KSA CEO, said:
“We are extremely proud that DHL Global Event Logistics has been appointed the Official Logistics Partner for the Professional Triathletes Organisation and the T100 Triathlon World Tour across its three GCC events in 2026. Delivering major international sporting events requires detailed planning, customs expertise, operational precision and full visibility at every stage of the logistics journey. This is where our team brings real value – helping to ensure that critical equipment and event materials arrive safely, on time and exactly where they need to be.”
“With Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Qatar hosting the final stages of the 2026 T100 season, this partnership gives us an exciting opportunity to demonstrate DHL’s specialist event logistics capabilities across three of the region’s most important sporting markets.”
The 2026 partnership will bring together DHL’s specialist event expertise across Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with an integrated logistics approach tailored to reflecting specific customs, transport and operational requirements of each host market.
Responding, PTO Chief Commercial Officer Stuart Ramsey, said: “We are delighted to welcome DHL as a partner for our 2026 GCC events. Delivering world-class international sporting events across multiple countries requires experienced partners who understand the complexity, deadlines and operational standards involved.”
“DHL brings an exceptional global network together with significant experience in international event logistics, and we look forward to working together across Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Qatar as we continue to grow the T100 Triathlon World Tour.”
The nine-stop T100 Triathlon World Tour has already touched down in the Gold Coast (21-22 March), Singapore (25-26 April), Spain (23-24 May), San Francisco (6-7 June) and Vancouver (15-16 August) so far this year and visits the French Riviera (19-20 September) next before its climax in the Middle East.
