April 5th, 2025
Taking place in the iconic waters of Marina Bay, Singapore, the Singapore T100 is a premier event in the region’s multisport calendar. The event celebrated its 3rd edition, drawing competitors to the stunning urban waterfront of Marina Bay. Participants had the choice of multiple race formats – 100km Triathlon, Long Duathlon, and Standard Duathlon – catering to both seasoned multisport athletes and newcomers.
The event featured races within the breathtaking backdrop of Singapore’s most recognisable and iconic landmarks, including Marina Bay Sands, the ArtScience Museum, and the Singapore Flyer. Competitors had the rare opportunity to swim in Marina Bay’s waters while cycling and running portions took competitors through the vibrant cityscape surrounding the bay, offering a unique urban racing experience.
Sportstiks helped keep the event running smoothly. We supplied race number tattoos, wristbands, tri-sets, and bibs to make sure every athlete was clearly identifiable at every stage. From the swim start to the final dash past cheering crowds, our products stayed put and showed up – no smudging, slipping, or second-guessing.

Last Man Riding – Jura

April 5th, 2025
Meanwhile, over in France, things kicked off a little differently. The first Last Man Riding event of the year took place in the Jura mountains – and if you’re imagining gentle rolling hills and sunny picnics, think again. This was 100% grit, gear-grinding climbs, and glorious, no-holds-barred endurance.
Unlike your typical race, Last Man Riding flips the rulebook upside down. It’s not about finishing fast – it’s about outlasting everyone else. Riders tackled a 21 km loop with 406 meters of elevation gain. The format is straightforward yet demanding: complete each loop within an hour, with a new lap starting every hour. This continues until only one cyclist remains – the Last Man Riding
Set against the wild and winding trails of the Jura, this season opener was as brutal as it was beautiful. And as always, Sportstiks was proud to support the madness with athlete ID that lasts as long as they do. We supplied custom tri-sets built for the long haul – no matter how many laps, hills, or hailstorms.

April 5th, 2025
Crystal-clear waters, world-class talent, and a whole lot of swim sets – the 2025 U.S. Open Water National Championships at Nathan Benderson Park had it all. Athletes from across the country showed up in Sarasota to compete for titles and team spots in the men’s and women’s 10K events.
With a spot at the World Aquatics Open Water Championships on the line, the racing was fierce, and every detail mattered. That’s where we came in.
Sportstiks supplied our race number tattoos to ensure every athlete was clearly marked and easy to identify from splash to sprint. Designed to hold up in tough open water conditions (yes, even during that chaotic turn buoy traffic), our tattoos stayed throughout.

On April 4, 2025, the shores of the Sea of Galilee buzzed with energy as athletes gathered for the Tri Kinneret triathlon. This event featured a range of distances, from Super Sprint to Half Ironman, attracting both seasoned competitors and newcomers. Notably, the 113 km distance and Elite Sprint were designated as the Israeli National Championships, adding prestige to the competition.
Sportstiks was proud to contribute to the event’s success by supplying high-quality race number tattoos. Our durable and easy-to-apply tattoos ensured that athletes remained clearly identifiable throughout the swim, bike, and run segments. This not only enhanced the visual appeal but also made it easier for race organisers to identify athletes.
Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive, with many noting that the tattoos endured the entire race without fading or peeling. It’s this level of reliability and performance that Sportstiks aims to deliver at every event.

The south of France served up serious coastal vibes and competitive fire on April 26th as La Ciotat hosted the Triathlon des Lumières – the first stop on the Regional 3rd Division (D3) triathlon circuit. Organised by the Vitrolles Triathlon Club, the weekend featured a packed schedule of racing, with swimruns, team relays, and S and M distance triathlons taking over the stunning seaside town.
With teams from across the region lining up to kick-start their D3 season, the atmosphere was great. Sportstiks was proud to support the event with our temporary race number tattoos, making sure every athlete was clearly and cleanly marked from start to finish. Whether diving into the Mediterranean or sprinting through transition, our tattoos stayed strong throughout.

Sun, sea, and serious competition – the Cannes International Triathlon, held from April 25th to 27th, delivered all three in spectacular fashion. Set against the backdrop of the French Riviera, athletes took on a challenging course that combined open water swims, coastal rides, and scenic runs through the heart of Cannes.
Sportstiks was proud to support this event by providing athlete identification products: race bibs, temporary tattoos, tri-sets, wristbands, and collation services. Our high-quality materials ensured that every athlete was clearly and comfortably marked from start to finish, enhancing both the race experience and operational efficiency.
