ABOUT SIT

Singapore International Triathlon

The Singapore International Triathlon (SIT) is Singapore’s pioneer triathlon event. Established in 1984, it was launched in an era when triathlons and endurance sports in general were largely unknown in Asia. From the first local triathlon held by the National University of Singapore (NUS) in its campus, it evolved into an international event two years later with a wide diversity of athletes participation from multiple countries
including Malaysia, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia. Through the years, the number of participants has grown steadily. The race distances of 2km swim, 65km bike and 16km run, were also changed to the widely accepted Olympic distance. During this time, local sportsmen have also achieved elite competitive status
through better knowledge in training and sports conditioning. Today, the SIT has become one of the most highly-anticipated, international sports
events in Singapore. Co-organised by Triathlon Association of Singapore and Orange Room Pte Ltd, the event has attracted up to 3,000 triathletes from countries such as Philippines, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, France, Spain, USA, Canada, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia, who vied for various coveted championship titles, including the Asian Championship. Held at the East Coast Park, this is a great opportunity for participants to Race the Lion City. The event boasts warm and calm water, scenic location, well-marked course and friendly volunteers, promising a memorable racing experience for all to enjoy from the starting to the finishing line.

Race Review:

• The swim course is good water is not clear but not so cold
• bike course is not for triathlon bike race it is possible but dangerous
• Bike Course has no visual on technical stuff to help some racer got plat tire
• Run course is so good a lot of Marshall cheering for some motivation.
• Bike Transition very nice big place and secure.
• Marshall is very friendly

EVENT INFORMATION

National Championships
Date : Sunday, 10th September 2017
Venue : East Coast Park Area E2
Time : Men’s Start – 7.10am
Women’s Start – 7.30am
This year’s Singapore International Triathlon 2017 will see Singapore’s top triathletes
competing against one another in the National Championships category. Every triathlete
will be racing hard to be crowned national champions, with ITU points given to the top 5
triathletes. With this being a sprint distance race instead of the olympic standard
distance, it is going to be a very exciting Sunday with the juniors pitting against the
seniors in the familiar settings of East Coast Park, you will see the battle between the
bests!
While Christy Suriadi, Bryce Chong and Nicholas Rachmadi have already been selected
for the XXI Commonwealth Games, this National Championships will need to find 3 more
triathletes for TAS nominations to SNOC to fill up the remaining 1 men and 2 women
slots. Look out for bronze medallist Clement Chow and Wille Loo who finished a close 4th
behind Clement in the recent SEA Games, also not forgetting Zac Low, a confirmed
contender in the 2018 Asian Games. These 3 will be putting up their best for this 1 slot.
Winona Howe’s withdrawal from this race due to an unfortunate injury has kept the
options open with Phoebe Kee and Ethel Lin amongst the favourites now fighting for the
2 women nomination spots.
Will we see the favourites dominating again this Sunday or will we see surprises? With
elite starts comprising of 13 men and 5 women, this category will be the highlights of
Sunday morning.
