Singapore T100 Triathlon kicks off 2025

T100 World Tour on April 5-6

The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) has confirmed that the 2025 Singapore T100 Triathlon will start the second T100 Triathlon World Tour on 5-6 April – with this year’s men’s T100 World Champions, Belgian Marten Van Riel, set to make his debut in the Lion City.

Filipino multisport athletes and enthusiasts are invited to participate in this premier triathlon event, and early registration is encouraged to allow ample time for training and preparation ahead of the summer triathlon event.

The multisport event will be making its third visit to the city, which last year had Singaporean Olympic hero Joseph Schooling and Singapore’s Health Minister ONG Ye Kung take part in the duathlon amongst 5,000 amateur participants competing across the weekend. 

As well as again showcasing the world’s top 20 male and top 20 female professional triathletes, it will also offer amateurs the chance to get involved in a 100km triathlon (2km swim, 80km bike, 18k run) on a similar course to the professionals and two different distance duathlons: a standard (4.5km Run/32km Bike/4.5km Run) and a long (9km Run/64km Bike/9km Run).

“Winning this season’s T100 Triathlon World Tour has been a dream realised for me and once I’ve had some time off, I’ll be working out how to take things to the next level in 2025. I didn’t get to race Singapore earlier this year because I was focussed on the Olympics but I’ve heard it’s an awesome race so I can’t wait to try it for myself,” Marten Van Riel, the winner in T100 Triathlon World Championship Final, said, after his career-changing victory in Dubai.

Van Riel took the T100 World Tour by storm this year, competing in the Paris Olympics before winning three out of the four T100 races he competed in and coming second in the other, culminating in a dominant display in Dubai on November 17 when he was pushed to his limits by German Rico Bogen and Britain’s recently retired Double Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee.

In 2025, the PTO is aiming to enhance the spectators and participants’ experience by

incorporating new iconic landmarks to the amateur course. The PTO also confirmed some changes to the course footprint, which will be announced soon, having worked closely with the local stakeholders over the last couple of years to minimise the impact of the race on downtown Singapore.

“We’re very excited to be starting our second T100 Triathlon World Tour season in Singapore. It’s a city and a race that has excited our professional athletes, participants and fans alike, due to its stunning location, iconic backdrops and challenging racing. But to accommodate the event’s growth, we have been working hard on reducing the impact of the T100 weekend on the city. This has been a combined effort with each of our local stakeholders, including Sport Singapore, Singapore Tourism Board. So, I wanted to thank them personally for their partnership and collaboration,” Sam Renouf, CEO of PTO, said.

The PTO has already announced seven stops as part of the 2025 T100 Triathlon World Tour calendar, with San Francisco, London, Ibiza, Lake Las Vegas and Dubai rejoining Singapore in 2025 alongside France.
