The Singapore Urban Sports + Fitness Festival (SGUSFF) 2025 has closed its second edition on an all-time high, drawing a record-breaking crowd of more than 90,000 attendees from 14 to 30 November.

With an expanded lineup featuring over 20 partners and 10 new events, SGUSFF 2025 brought world-class showcases and fresh sports formats to Singapore audiences.
A High-Energy Finale at Singapore Expo
The festival culminated in a spectacular final weekend that drew more than 45,000 participants across four halls and two atriums at Singapore Expo. The packed programme was headlined by AIA HYROX Singapore, which featured international competitors, including Netflix Physical: 100 and Physical: Asia star Kim Jae-hong (Amotti).

The festival wrapped with a standout closing experience: “A beans & beats Party: At the Ring”, Singapore’s first alcohol-free “coffee-clubbing” rave that paired specialty brews with underground music.
