The classic event on the World Triathlon calendar will once again be disputed over the 10 km Run/150 km Cycling / 30 km Running distances, with athletes from all over the world vying for the world crowns. 

Due to the current situation with the COVID pandemic and travel restrictions, the Board approved the decision of Triathlon Japan of the cancellation of the World Triathlon Cup Miyazaki planned for March 2022.
