World Triathlon’s Executive Board has approved three changes to the World Cup calendar for the second half of the 2024 season. The date of the World Triathlon Cup Brasilia has been moved and it will now take place on 9-10 November. The event in Vina del Mar, Chile, will no longer be a World Cup but instead become an Americas Triathlon Premium Cup, while the Tangier World Cup has been cancelled.

Brasilia is ready to welcome the World Cup circuit for the second consecutive year, but the local elections in the Brazilian capital have led to the change of schedule, with the race now taking place two weeks after the originally announced date. The race will be contested over the Sprint format.

Unfortunately, November’s World Cup scheduled in Vina del Mar, Chile, will no longer take place. The LOC has managed to keep it in the calendar as an Americas Triathlon Premium Cup on the same weekend, 2-3 November.

Another race that has been cancelled is the Tangier World Cup. Despite the successful debut of the event on the World Triathlon Cup calendar last year, the organisers have had to cancel what would have been the second edition, initially planned for 12-13 October.

World Triathlon wants to thank all the organisers and affected National Federations for their endless efforts to support the events, and will work with all of them to try to have them back in the calendar in 2025.

The remaining World Cup calendar for 2024 now looks like this:
8 September - Karlovy Vary (CZE) – Standard
14 September - Valencia (ESP) – Sprint
5-6 October - Rome (ITA) – Sprint
26 October - Tongyeong (KOR) - Standard
9-10 November - Brasilia (BRA) – Sprint
9-10 November - Miyazaki (JPN) – Sprint
