From indoor aquathlons and iconic road races to extreme triathlons and ultra-distance challenges, the month highlighted the diversity and global reach of the endurance sports community.

The Luxembourg Indoor Aquathlon delivered fast-paced racing in a compact, high-energy environment. Combining swimming and running within an indoor venue, the event demanded precision, organisation and clear athlete identification to keep races running safely and efficiently. The format attracts both seasoned multisport athletes and newcomers, offering an accessible yet competitive introduction to aquathlon racing.

For this event, we supplied temporary tattoos, providing clear and durable athlete identification throughout the race. For organisers, tattoos simplify marshalling and results management in a confined indoor setting, while for athletes they offer a lightweight solution that holds up through both swim and run segments.
