AFTER the Luzon leg, FINIS Philippines travels South to boost open water and swimming events through the Boracay Newcoast Open Water Festival on May 11-15.
FINIS Philippines Managing Director coach Vince Garcia said they lined up four exciting events for water sports enthusiasts as well as for the country’s best tankers: The Kids of Steel Triathlon-Visayas Leg, the Green Aquathlon, the Open Water Swim, and the Caticlan-Boracay Channel Crossing Fun Swim.
“It would be more of an investment to make it an annual event that will keep growing next year and the year after and so on,” said Garcia, as he expressed his optimism to carry the momentum with more sporting events in the Visayas through the event.
FINIS tied up with Megaworld’s Belmont Hotel, now the event’s official hotel partner, with the latter extending discounts to participants and their entourage. Garcia also expressed their gratitude to the local government units for their undying support and coordination.
Online registration for the four events is still ongoing on the RaceYaya website.
The Open Water Festival kicks off its first race with the Caticlan Channel Crossing Fun Swim — from Tabon Port in the Municipality of Caticlan to Manoc-Manoc Beach in Boracay — on May 13.
