Some of the world’s best triathletes are in town and ready to kickstart their T100 Triathlon World Tour campaign in the heart of Singapore. The season-opening Singapore T100 will take place in the stunning Marina Bay on April 5 and 6 beginning with the Women’s Pro race on Saturday (5 April) followed by the Men’s Pro race on Sunday.

The Singapore T100 is a multi-sport festival featuring various events for people of different fitness levels. Besides the Pro races, over 7,000 fitness enthusiasts are expected to gather at the F1 Pit Building on Sunday morning for the age-group races. Experienced amateurs can take on the 100km triathlon (2km swim, 80km cycle, 18km run) on a similar route as the Pros, while others can take on one of two Duathlon races – Standard (4km run, 32km cycle, 6km run) or Long (8km run, 64km cycle, 10km run). The Music Run on Saturday evening will see runners take on the 5km fun run grooving to powerful beats blasted by speakers lined on the route.

To facilitate the smooth running of the event, the following roads are closed on Saturday 5 April from 11am to 10pm and on Sunday 6 April from 3am to 7pm: Bayfront Ave, Sheares Avenue, ECP Exits 14, 14A & 15, Rochor Road, and Ophir Road. Additional roads closed on Sunday are Nicoll Highway and Republic Ave.

Reigning T100 men’s world champion Marten Van Riel will begin his title defence amid a star-studded line-up in Singapore. Among those joining him in the stacked field are Singapore T100 defending champion Youri Keulen and as well as Paris Olympics triathlon silver and bronze medallists Hayden Wilde and Léo Bergère.
The women’s Pro race is equally competitive with Australian Ashleigh Gentle aiming for a hat-trick of titles in Singapore. But she will face stiff competition from Olympic silver medallist Julie Derron and Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion Flora Duffy.

Ahead of the T100 weekend, the triathletes participated in several community activities around the island in collaboration with other sports events taking place in Singapore this week.

In town for the HSBC SVNS Singapore at the National Stadium this weekend, the Great Britain women’s rugby team hosted their T100 compatriots Lucy Charles-Barclay, Kate Waugh and Jess Learmonth at Tanglin Junior School on Wednesday (3 April), with the triathletes swapped bike turbos for spin passes.

Meanwhile, German Ironman 70.3 World Champion Rico Bogen and 2024 Miami T100 champion India Lee attended an event marking 100 days to the World Aquatic Championships that will take place in Singapore from 11 July to 3 Aug. The triathletes were part of three teams that kickstarted the event’s first community programme – the SG60 Swim Challenge, which aims to encourage more people to pick up swimming.

The 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour will take place across nine races, including the return to Singapore to start the new series. It will then go to San Francisco (31 May-1 June), Vancouver (13-15 June), France (27-29 June), London (9-10 August), Valencia (20 September), Lake Las Vegas and Dubai (15-16 November). Before the climax in Qatar for the new Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final (12- 13 December) following a five-year partnership with Visit Qatar.
