The Story

T100 Vancouver’s women’s race is set for Saturday, August 15, 2026 at Locarno Beach in Vancouver, with the pro event scheduled to start at 11:05 a.m. Pacific (2:05 p.m. EDT, 7:05 p.m. BST, 8:05 p.m. CEST). The distance is 100 km—2 km swim, 80 km bike and 18 km run—on a rolling, closed-road bike course with a hard-packed trail run.

Live coverage will be available on Live.tv, and the race will also be streamed live and free via the T100 YouTube channel. The event is the third women’s stop in this year’s T100 Triathlon World Tour.

The women’s pro field of 20 at T100 Vancouver includes top seeds Imogen Simmonds (Switzerland, T100 ranking 1), Georgia Taylor-Brown (Great Britain, 2), and Alanis Siffert (Switzerland, 4), along with Julie Derron (Switzerland, 5). Other ranked starters include Nicole Van der Kaay (New Zealand, 7), Taylor Spivey (United States, 8), and Bianca Bogen (Germany, 9), plus Sara Pérez Sala (Spain, 10) and Lotte Wilms (Netherlands, 12).

Further entrants listed for the Saturday race are Lizzie Rayner (Great Britain, 14), Ellie Salthouse (Australia, 15), Paula Findlay (Canada, unspecified ranking), Kate Waugh (Great Britain, unspecified ranking), Hannah Berry (New Zealand, unspecified ranking), Daisy Davies (Great Britain, unspecified ranking), Lena Meißner (Germany, unspecified ranking), Rebecca Anderbury (Great Britain, unspecified ranking), Audrey Merle (France, 17), Lucy Byram (Great Britain, unspecified ranking), and Lydia Russell (United States, unspecified ranking).

Simmonds, described as the PTO points leader, arrives after racing both women’s T100 events earlier this year, taking third at the Gold Coast race and seventh in Spain. Siffert comes to Vancouver on a recent winning run that includes a win at Challenge Roth last month and a third-straight victory at the Alpe d’Huez Triathlon last week.

Derron, who was runner-up in T100 Spain last year, is also returning after a July IRONMAN Switzerland win over Simmonds. Taylor-Brown is in the field after earning her first T100 victory in Spain earlier this year, and Kate Waugh returns to T100 racing as the reigning T100 world champion after her only 2026 appearance being WTCS Yokohama following a soleus muscle tear.

Paula Findlay is among the notable Canadian entries, making her Vancouver appearance after an IRONMAN debut in Lake Placid where she won and also secured a Kona slot along the way. The field also includes other athletes with recent results on both the middle-distance circuit and at long-course events, including Taylor Spivey, Daisy Davies and Bianca Bogen.
