The ATHLO+ Telegram Group: Training Partners, Race Talk and Kit for Singapore Athletes

You have a long run planned for Sunday, and the friend who said they would come has stopped replying. You would happily run it with someone else. The trouble is that you do not know anyone else who is doing it.

That is the gap a training community fills. Here is what you need to know about the ATHLO+ Telegram group, from what goes in each room to how to join.

The Rooms at a Glance

The Group: SportPlus | ATHLO+ on Telegram

The group is called SportPlus | ATHLO+ and you will find it at @SportPlusXATHLO. It is where members talk about training, gear, races and drops, and it has more than 300 members so far. Runners, riders, lifters and ballers are all welcome.

The group is split into rooms, so a question about a race does not get buried under a pair of shoes for sale.

The Rooms: Where to Post What

• Main Room: Anything goes. Say hi here and introduce yourself.
• Train & Race: Find someone for your next long run, ride or session. Ask about a race before you sign up, or share a start list, a result or a route.
• Gear & Marketplace: Show what you train in and ask whether something is worth it before you buy. You can also sell, trade or give away kit you have outgrown.
• NEWS: Read-only. Singapore sports news is posted here automatically, so you can catch up without scrolling past the chat.

Training Partners: Do Not Do the Long One Alone

Train & Race is the room for company. Post the distance, the pace you plan to hold and where you are starting from, then let people reply. The same works for a weekend ride or a station session in the gym.

If you are racing AIA HYROX Singapore 2026 or the BYD Singapore International Marathon 2026, ask who else is on the start list. It is a lot easier to get out of bed for a 5am session when someone is waiting for you.

The Marketplace: How to Buy and Sell Kit

Sales only go in Gear & Marketplace. When you list something, include the item, size, condition, price and a photo, so buyers are not left asking the same questions one by one.

Deals are between the buyer and the seller. ATHLO+ does not mediate or guarantee anything, so agree on payment and handover before any kit changes hands.

The House Rules: Read These Before You Post

• Be Decent: No harassment, racism or spam.
• No Unsolicited DMs: Do not message members privately out of the blue.
• Sell in One Place: Anything for sale goes in Gear & Marketplace and nowhere else.

How to Join

• Open the Link: Tap t.me/SportPlusXATHLO on a phone with Telegram installed and join the group.
• Read the Welcome: The welcome message lists every room and the house rules.
• Introduce Yourself: Tell the group your sport, where you usually train and one thing you are chasing this year.
