IRONMAN Philippines to showcase one more time the
MESSAGE FROM SUNRISE best the country can offer!
EVENTS, INC.
Welcome to the Century Tuna IRONMAN 70.3 Subic Bay!
We are glad to welcome you back to the triathlon capital
of the Philippines.
We at Sunrise Events have been blessed with a
supportive and reliable partner in Century Tuna. Over the
years, we have worked closely in providing our beloved
triathletes with nothing but the best races to date. This
comes with ensuring the rules of the race apply in
accordance with the rules of the World Triathlon
Corporation. Find out more about the rules and
regulations at www.ironman703subicbay.com.
Over 900 participants will be joining the IRONMAN 70.3
Subic Bay and vying to earn one of the 30 slots open for
the 2019 World Championship in Nice, France. Winners
from the age groupers will take home a range of prizes,
treats as well as the title and bragging rights for the rest
of the year! This year, the race will again feature the
rolling start for the swim where triathletes are expected
to self-seed themselves, a swim course at the Subic Bay
Boardwalk featuring a 1.9km counter-clockwise swim, a
90km bike and 21.1km run course that is hard enough to
keep everyone challenged yet fast enough to give that
extra push to go after their best time. Once the home
base of the U.S. Naval Forces in the Pacific, Subic Bay is
now a premier holiday destination for visitors from all
over the world.
But there's more to Subic Bay than sun-drenched shores.
Its blessed location at the foothills of the Zambales
mountain range has given it lush tracts of preserved
tropical forest, which have become favorite venues for
eco-tourism activities and sports events. U.S. Marines
used to hone their jungle-survival skills in these
mountains, trained by local indigenous people called the
Aetas who have learned to live in harmony with their
natural environment. Subic Bay is one of the best places
to train and tri in the Philippines. Visit the Tent at Subic
Bay Boardwalk to see the Century Tuna IRONMAN Expo
with a good line-up of brands participating for that
ultimate shopping experience. In the morning of
Saturday, it is the little ones turn as the pre-event Alaska
Fortified IRONKIDS is held. Make sure to be there to
cheer on our little triathletes! More information about
the different activities can be found on our website.
It has been 10 years since the first IRONMAN 70.3 was
held in Camarines Sur. From 583 participants and one
race in 2009, the sport has grown by leapsand bounds,
with multiple races all over the Philippines. We at
Sunrise Events are happy to be at the forefront of this
triathlon renaissance and are proud to stage the
