Singapore – Reigning Singapore T100 champion and PTO World #1 Hayden Wilde leads a high calibre start list for the men’s professional race at the Singapore T100 Triathlon weekend on 25-26 April, 2026.
The Kiwi star, who also won the 2025 T100 Race To Qatar in Doha last December, will take on a field that contains half of the current PTO World Rankings top 10 – including #3 Mika Noodt (GER), #8 Mathis Margirier (FRA), #9 Jonas Schomburg (GER) and #10 Youri Keulen (NED) who won here in 2024 – over the Professional Triathletes Organisation’s signature 100km distance (2km swim, 80km bike, 18km run).
The world class line up also includes returning 2024 T100 series runner-up Kyle Smith (NZL); British Olympian and World #11 Sam Dickinson (GBR); and 2025 World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) champion Matt Hauser (AUS), who will be making his T100 debut.
“I’m looking forward to defending my T100 crown and returning to Singapore,” said Wilde, who claimed victory in Singapore on his T100 debut last year by beating Bergère into second place and starting a run of five T100 wins in a row on his way to his first T100 World Championship crown.
“Winning my first T100 last year set me up for a strong season, so I’d love to do the same again later this month. But I know it’s a super hard race with the heat and humidity so you just have to focus on your own race and hope that it’s enough.”
On Australian Matt Hauser lining up for his first T100 race, Wilde commented: “I said after the final in Qatar last year that I wanted to see more short course athletes come and toss it up with us. I saw Matty Hauser did a 10km run at the Gold Coast event with Alex Yee [British Olympic champion] and looked to be enjoying it. Fair play to him for now stepping up and taking on the T100.”
“I love this sort of racing. It’s a great platform to showcase the sport and enable athletes to show how good you can be individually on the bike and the run, so it will be interesting to see how he goes.”
Hauser is excited to step up in distance and renew his rivalry with Wilde.
“I want to continue to challenge and humble myself, Singapore presents a unique opportunity to do just that! I’m looking forward to testing myself against some of the best middle distance males, including Hayden. We’ve had some exciting and close battles in short course triathlon, so I’m hoping to bring that same energy to T100!”
Hauser’s only previous race at this distance came at IRONMAN 70.3 Geelong in 2025, where he recorded a DNF early on the bike due to a mechanical.
