KEPT out of the roads and waters the past two years, the future of Philippine triathlon finally gets the chance to showcase their wares in pursuit of honors in the Ironkids Philippines on Aug. 6 at The Mactan Newtown in Lapu-LapumCity, Cebu.
One hundred and sixty-eight youngsters aged 6-to-14 are all primed for a test of speed and endurance in their side of the swim-bike-run battle ahead of the Megaworld Ironman 70.3 Philippines presented by AIA Vitality on Aug. 7 at the country’s newest, world-class triathlon hub.
Events on tap are the 6-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14 age divisions with titles to be disputed over varying distances in each race category of the junior version of the Ironman, which also features swimming, bike and run events.
“The long wait has only made these kids eager and hungrier for recognition and the Ironman Group/Sunrise Events, Inc. is proud to have taken the cudgels for the future stars of Philippine triathlon,” said The Ironman Group general manager Princess Galura.
