ENDURANCE racing returns in full force as the Century Tuna Ironman 70.3 Subic Bay Philippines headlines an action-packed weekend on Sunday (June 15) in Olongapo City.
With a powerhouse lineup boosted by elite international contenders, the race promises a thrilling display of strength, speed and staying power.
The blue-ribbon race, featuring the classic 1.9km swim, 90km bike, and 21km run format, is a major highlight in the Sunrise Events, Inc. calendar, serving as the second of five Ironman races scheduled this season following the successful Ironman 70.3 Puerto Princesa last March.
The weekend kicks off with the highly anticipated RLC Ironkids on Saturday (June 14), fostering the next generation of triathletes. Sharing the spotlight with the 70.3 event on Sunday is the Sunrise Sprint – a fast-paced, short-distance triathlon featuring a 750m swim, 20km bike, and 5km run.
Ideal for beginners and speedsters alike, the Sunrise Sprint adds diversity and excitement to an already jam-packed race weekend.
Race categories for both events, organized by Sunrise Events, Inc., include individual and relay divisions, catering to athletes of various skill levels.
Adding to the intensity is the fact that 45 coveted qualifying slots for the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Marbella, Spain are up for grabs. As one of the final qualifiers of the season, Subic Bay is set to witness a fiercely competitive field of athletes pushing to secure their place on the world stage this November.
