PROFESSIONAL TRIATHLETES ORGANISATION ANNOUNCES SOKIN AS GLOBAL PARTNER OF ITS T100 TRIATHLON WORLD TOUR

The partnership will also see the PTO use Sokin's leading global platform, which can manage its entire cross-border financial stack. Through the platform, the PTO will streamline its global payments and gain access to Sokin's multi-currency accounts, FX, and treasury infrastructure capabilities. PTO will benefit from more efficient and scalable international business operations as the organisation continues to expand its race calendar and global footprint.

Vroon Modgill, Sokin CEO, said:

"The US is a major growth market for Sokin and having the honor of putting our name on the legendary Escape From Alcatraz race puts us in front of exactly the kind of business audience we want to reach there. Sports partnerships have been one of the most effective ways for us to build brand presence in international markets and sports organizations like the Professional Triathletes Organisation have the global reach and complex business operations that Sokin's platform is built to support. That dual fit is what made this an obvious partnership for us."

Sam Renouf, CEO of PTO said:

"This is a significant partnership for the PTO at an important moment in our growth. As we prepare to launch our new Triathlon World Tour in 2027 with our partners World Triathlon, scaling from 9 events this year to more than 80 globally, having the right partners in place is critical. Sokin's expertise in simplifying global payments will play an important role as we expand into new markets and continue our mission to take triathlon mainstream."

Sokin has seen rapid growth with revenue increasing 100% year-on-year and rising eightfold since 2022. Its platform provides global payments, multi-currency accounts and treasury management, helping businesses streamline cross-border transactions and scale internationally.

In 2026, the T100 Tour has already delivered a sell out stop on the Gold Coast in Australia, where American superstar Taylor Knibb won the first women's professional T100 race of the season over the PTO's signature 100km triathlon (2km swim, 80km bike, 18km run), and more than 5,000 amateurs aged from 18-74 took part in an amateur T100 as well as an Olympic distance triathlon (1.5km swim, 40km bike, 10km run) and a mass participation 10km run. At the Singapore T100 Triathlon on 25-26 April, reigning T100 World Champion Hayden Wilde from New Zealand won the back-to-back titles in the Lion City and more than 7,000 amateurs of all abilities took part in a range of triathlons, duathlons and a 5km Music Run.

The 9-stop T100 Race To Qatar will now visit: Spain (23-24 May), San Francisco (6-7 June), Vancouver (15-16 August), French Riviera (19-20 September), Dubai (12-15 November), Saudi Arabia (November) & Qatar (11-12 December), for the second Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final.
