MESSAGE FROM SUNRISE to be there to cheer on our little triathletes! More
information about the different activities can be found on
EVENTS, INC. our website.
Welcome to the 2018 IRONMAN 70.3 SUBIC BAY! We are
glad to bring back the annual 70.3 race alongside the very
first and only full distance race in the country for our 10th
year anniversary!
We at Sunrise Events Inc. worked closely with IRONMAN
Asia to ensure consistency in rules between the local
IRONMAN 70.3 Subic Bay Race Rules and the 2017
IRONMAN Global Competition Rules. You can view the
rules from our website.
Nearly 300 participants will be joining the IRONMAN 70.3
Subic Bay. There will be no relay category for this race – so
it’s time go hard or go home. 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 Acea Beach
Resort 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. They come for its pristine beaches,
first-rate amenities and friendly services. The waters and
beaches of Subic Bay feature attractions for all types of
folks: miles of fine sand and calm waters for beach lovers
and picnickers, spectacular corals and underwater fauna
for divers and snorkelers, mysterious sunken wrecks for
history aficionados, and even choice spots for a relaxing
afternoon of fly fishing.
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 Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center 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 IRONKIDS is held. Make sure
