MetaSprint Duathlon 2026 Draws 1,300 Athletes to F1 Race Village as MetaSport Series Heads Toward Triathlon Finale
SINGAPORE, 15 March 2026 - More than 1,300 athletes gathered at the F1 Race Village on Sunday morning for the MetaSprint Duathlon 2026, the second race in the MetaSprint Series organised by MetaSport.
The duathlon — featuring a run–bike–run format — saw participants ranging from elite competitors to recreational athletes take on the city-centre course, continuing the momentum of the popular multi-sport race series.
The MetaSprint Series will conclude on 29 March with the triathlon finale, wrapping up a season that began under unusual circumstances when the opening aquathlon at Sentosa had to be postponed by a week following a crocodile sighting near the swim venue.
Despite that early disruption, Sunday’s event ran smoothly, with athletes praising the organisation and vibrant race atmosphere in the heart of Singapore.
Strong Competition in the XL Duathlon
In the XL Duathlon category, Philipp Armbruster claimed the men’s title in 1:20:17, ahead of Aaron Lee (1:22:51) and Vladimir Dzurilla (1:25:50).
Completing the men’s top 10 were Vincent Lerouvillois, Rich Bacon, Nicolas Lagier, Haythem El-Ansary, Russell Ericksen, Kyle Wood, and Yosuke Tanaka.
In the women’s XL race, Regine Goh delivered a commanding performance to win in 1:40:33, narrowly ahead of Socheata Ung (1:41:12) and Crystal Chng (1:42:40).
The rest of the top 10 included Briar Johns, Arielle Low, Faye Foo, Yunyi Lau, Dora Dominko, Malin Renstroem, and Rebecca Orme.
Fast Times in the Sprint Duathlon
The Sprint Duathlon also saw fierce competition.
Wai Kit Lam took the men’s title in 50:30, finishing ahead of Lin Hung Chi (52:42) and Louis Thiebault (53:28).
Other top finishers included Rio Yap, Dylan Ang, Benoit Besnier, Ho Ming Ethan Kwan, Jacob Tan, Jack Mitchell, and Muhammad Akid Muhammad Najib.
In the women’s race, Rachel Hew secured victory in 55:22, followed by Lim Wan Ting and Bernice Tan.
Team Relays Add Community Spirit
The team relay categories added another layer of excitement and camaraderie to the event.
Among the standout performances:
Female Relay: Victory went to PCFS 1 in 1:15:35
Male Relay: Wasabi triumphed in 50:54
Mixed Relay: Team SportPlus took first place in 55:36
The relay categories highlighted the inclusive nature of the MetaSprint Series, allowing athletes of varying abilities to compete together.
Athletes Praise Smooth Organisation
Participants also commended the organisation of the event, noting how smoothly the race was conducted despite the large turnout.
Many athletes highlighted the clear course layout, efficient transition areas and strong volunteer support throughout the morning.
The positive feedback comes after the series faced an early challenge when the first event — the aquathlon at Sentosa — had to be postponed due to a crocodile sighting, forcing organisers to quickly adjust the schedule.
Triathlon Finale Ahead
With the duathlon now completed, attention turns to the final race of the series — the MetaSprint Triathlon, set to take place on 29 March.
The concluding event is expected to draw another strong turnout as athletes aim to complete the full three-race MetaSprint series.
For many competitors, the series has become a key fixture on Singapore’s endurance sports calendar, blending competitive racing with an accessible entry point for newcomers to multi-sport racing.
