Elite Waves

Race with the Best

The MetaSprint Series Elite Waves are where Singapore’s fastest athletes and rising stars go head-to-head. With an elite wave in both Sprint and now XL categories in the Aquathlon, Duathlon, and Triathlon, the Series sets the stage for high-performance racing from start to finish.

How to Qualify

• The top-20 overall men and women from the MetaSprint Series 2025 Sprint races automatically qualify for the elite wave in 2026.
• The top-20 overall men and women from the MetaSprint Series 2026 Aquathlon and Duathlon races, for both the Sprint and XL distance, automatically qualify for the remaining races of the series.
• If you don’t fall in any of the above categories, you may apply for a wild card with proof of a top-10 ranking in a race of similar distance and prestige.
• Registration opens alongside age-group entries, but spots are limited.

*Note: all athletes, whether starting in the Elite wave or an age category wave, are eligible for overall and age category prizes.
