SINGAPORE, 10 May 2026 - Last Friday evening, Singapore’s sporting and creator community gathered for an intimate welcome dinner celebrating the Team 100PLUS Class of 2026, marking the third consecutive year of the brand ambassador programme by 100PLUS.
Held at the cosy café Hello Arigato Upper Thomson, the event brought together national athletes, high-performance competitors, everyday content creators and community leaders united by a shared mission — inspiring people across Singapore and Malaysia to pursue sport and active living.
The annual welcome dinner has quickly become a meaningful tradition for Team 100PLUS, serving as the first opportunity each year for new and returning ambassadors to connect, exchange stories, and build camaraderie before the year’s slate of sporting events and community initiatives.
Celebrating the Team 100PLUS Class of 2026
Now entering its third year, Team 100PLUS continues to inspire many communities in Singapore and across the region with its message, sharing the importance of good hydration in everyday life from sporting excellence to grassroots community influence.
The initiative reflects the long-standing commitment of 100PLUS to support both high-performance athletes and everyday active individuals. The Class of 2026 continues that tradition, bringing together a diverse lineup that includes:
Key Opinion Leaders of the Sporting Industry
National athletes representing Singapore on the global stage
High-performance competitors from endurance and emerging sports
Content creators promoting active lifestyles
Community leaders advocating fitness and well-being
Together, they form a collective voice encouraging the wider sporting community to stay active, stay hydrated, and push personal boundaries.
A Growing Community Built on Passion for Sport
The Team 100PLUS programme, first launched in 2024 in partnership with Sport Plus Media, features over 30 ambassadors from across the sporting spectrum, including Team Singapore Olympic swimmer Quah Jing Wen, distance athlete Vanessa Lee and national footballer Hassan Sunny as just a few among its early members.
This year, the programme welcomes sports host and media personality Kelly Latimer as one of its key voices, as well as national triathlete Herlene Natasha Yu, footballer Lionel Tan and sprinter Elizabeth-Ann Tan as several of its new faces.
The programme was designed with a clear goal: to inspire the sporting community to outdo themselves regardless of background or experience level.
Unlike traditional ambassador programmes focused solely on elite athletes, Team 100PLUS blends professional sporting excellence with relatable everyday athletes and creators who share their training journeys, race experiences and healthy lifestyle habits with thousands of followers online.
This unique mix helps extend the message beyond competitive sport, reaching weekend runners, gym-goers, cyclists and recreational athletes across Singapore and Malaysia.
Hello Arigato Upper Thomson: The Perfect Setting for Community
The relaxed setting at Hello Arigato Thomson created the ideal environment for ambassadors to mingle, reconnect and welcome new members joining the programme this year.
Over dinner, conversations ranged from upcoming competitions and training plans to content collaborations and community initiatives for 2026. The informal atmosphere reflected the spirit of Team 100PLUS — a community built not only on performance, but also friendship and shared motivation.
For returning ambassadors, the gathering served as a reunion. For new members, it marked the start of a year filled with opportunities to collaborate with fellow athletes and creators while representing one of Southeast Asia’s most recognisable sports beverage brands.
Inspiring the Community to Outdo Themselves
Beyond the welcome dinner, the Team 100PLUS ambassadors will participate in a variety of sporting and community events throughout the year. These include:
Major running and endurance events in Singapore and Malaysia
Community fitness activations and court sports
Content collaborations promoting hydration and recovery
Grassroots initiatives encouraging active lifestyles
At the heart of the programme is a simple but powerful message: everyone can push their limits and improve themselves.
Whether it’s an Olympic swimmer chasing milliseconds in the pool or a recreational runner preparing for their first half-marathon, Team 100PLUS aims to highlight the importance of consistent training, perseverance and proper hydration.
Strengthening Singapore’s Active Lifestyle Movement
As Singapore continues to build momentum around sports participation and wellness, programmes like Team 100PLUS play a key role in shaping a positive and inclusive sporting culture.
By spotlighting both elite performers and everyday athletes, the programme demonstrates that sporting inspiration can come from anywhere — from national team competitors to creators documenting their personal fitness journeys.
With the Team 100PLUS Class of 2026 officially welcomed, the year ahead promises more collaborations, more sporting milestones and more opportunities to inspire the community to outdo themselves both on and off the field. #Team100PLUS #100PLUSSG #OutdoYourself
