T100 San Francisco 2026 Results: Bogen Defends, Derron Stuns Knibb
Rico Bogen and Julie Derron took the headlines at the 2026 T100 San Francisco on 24 May. Germany’s Bogen defended his title with a dominant 3:17:25, while Switzerland’s Derron stunned Taylor Knibb by running her down on the iconic Escape from Alcatraz course to break the American’s unbeaten T100 streak.
Men’s Race
Bogen took control on the bike and was never headed, finishing in 3:17:25 — 1:05 clear of fellow German Lasse Nygaard Priester. New Zealand‘s Hayden Wilde, racing on the back of an illness in the lead-up, completed the podium in 3:21:13. Morgan Pearson and Jason West rounded out the top five for the USA.

Women’s Race
Derron produced one of the rides of the season. Trailing Knibb out of T2, the Swiss caught her around the 3km mark of the 18km run with a blistering 1:06:37 run split, then pulled away to win in 3:38:46. Knibb — unbeaten in T100 racing coming in — held on for second at +2:05, with Great Britain’s Kate Waugh completing the podium. The result ends Knibb’s perfect T100 record and reshapes the women’s race for the rest of the season.

Season Implications
Bogen’s back-to-back San Francisco wins reinforce his standing as one of the most consistent middle-distance racers in the field. Derron’s victory cracks open the women’s T100 standings — Knibb is no longer untouchable, and the chase pack now has a roadmap for how to beat her.
