Some events that Sportstiks supplied to this month.
European Aquatics Open Water Cup

Sportstiks supplied custom temporary race number tattoos for the event, ensuring every swimmer was clearly identifiable from the shore, in the water, and across every timing checkpoint. In open water conditions, clear and reliable identification is vital – not just for officials and safety teams, but also for media coverage and athlete tracking. Our tattoos held firm from the first stroke to the finish, helping organisers run a clean, professional race with full athlete visibility.

We supplied adhesive race bibs, wristbands, and race packs to ensure athletes were clearly identified without compromising comfort or performance. Pins are a no-go when you’re crawling under barbed wire or swinging across monkey bars – and our adhesive bibs stuck strong throughout. The wristbands added another layer of visibility, while race packs gave athletes everything, they needed to gear up pre-race. Simple. Seamless. Durable.
The ROC Wales

May 10th, 2025
The ROC Wales, the first in a three-part adventure triathlon series, is as epic as they come. Athletes start with a sea swim off the coast of Abersoch, then take on a 50km road bike through rugged Welsh terrain. Then comes the big one: a gruelling 6km run up The Watkin Path – the toughest route to the summit of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), Wales’ highest peak – climbing a lung-busting 3,330ft to the top. There’s just enough time to take in the views before turning around and descending the same way. From there, it’s back on the bike for another 50km return ride to Abersoch. And just when you think you’re done? There’s a final 1km run along the beach to the finish line. Brutal, breathtaking, and unforgettable.
Sportstiks was proud to support this mountain-meets-marathon-style event with custom tri sets and temporary tattoos. Our athlete ID systems ensured competitors could be clearly tracked throughout the different stages – from the waves of Cardigan Bay to the rocky ridgelines of Snowdonia. Athletes competing in the full ROC trilogy received distinctive all-gold tattoos, making them instantly recognisable and celebrating their commitment to the full challenge.
Clásico El Coco – Triathlon BAC Series

May 11th, 2025
Sportstiks supplied the full package: race bibs, tri sets, and temporary tattoos. This trio ensured that every athlete was clearly marked across all segments of the race – swim, bike, and run -making transitions faster, race management smoother, and timing more accurate. In the heat and humidity of coastal Costa Rica, our products held up and helped keep the event on track from start to finish.
World Triathlon Championship Series – Yokohama

May 17th, 2025
Sportstiks supplied temporary race number tattoos for the event, continuing our long-standing support of the World Triathlon circuit. Our fully customisable tattoos made it easy to differentiate race categories, including para series athletes. They stayed clear and visible despite the wet conditions, ensuring accurate athlete ID for timing, live coverage, and on-course officials.

May 18th, 2025
Sportstiks provided swim cap and double set temporay tattoos to keep every swimmer clearly identifiable throughout their chosen distance. With different loops and start waves, these visual markers made athlete tracking simple for race marshals and reassuring for safety crews. And as always, our tattoos held firm — no smudging, peeling, or disappearing halfway down the course.

May 19th, 2025
We supplied custom temporary tattoos to support the event. For smaller races like these, quick and reliable athlete ID makes a huge difference – helping officials spot athletes, aiding in results accuracy, and providing a professional look that matches the passion of the competitors.
Bermuda Half Marathon Derby

May 23rd, 2025
Sportstiks supplied race bibs for the 2025 edition, ensuring every runner could be clearly identified at aid stations, checkpoints, and the all-important finish line. With humidity, sweat, and excitement at an all-time high, our bibs held their shape and stayed secure – no flapping, fading, or tearing.
Nordic Race – Aarhus Hills

May 24th, 2025
We supplied wristbands, adhesive race bibs, and race packs for the event. When athletes are pushing through mud, climbing obstacles, and diving into cold water, they need kit that sticks with them. Our bibs don’t slip, tear, or need constant adjustment – which means racers can focus on the next challenge, not fixing their bib.

May 25th, 2025
We supplied tri sets and temporary tattoos to ensure clear athlete identification across swim, bike, and run segments. With multiple age groups and distances sharing the same venue, our products helped streamline race organisation, support wave management, and give athletes that polished race-day look.

Sportstiks provided race bibs to ensure every participant (from the competitive frontrunners to casual participants) could be tracked, cheered, and safely supported. For an event that prides itself on inclusivity and clarity, clear athlete ID was essential.

Sportstiks supplied temporary tattoos to support this event. With constantly changing locations and transitions, athlete visibility was key and our tattoos offered organisers a simple, durable solution that stayed sharp from start to finish, no matter how many lakes were crossed or shoes got soaked.
