MANILA, Philippines—Philippine National Games bronze medalist Nikko Huelgas and German national Anna Stroh dominated the men’s and women’s elite divisions, respectively, of the Unilad Active Health Tri United 2 held on Sunday in San Juan, Batangas.
Close to 650 triathletes participated in the event, the third time that Tri United was held at Playa Laiya.
San Juan Mayor Rodolfo Manalo joined organizer Raul Cuevas of Bike King and Alex Panlilio of Unilab Active Health during the gun start.
The one-day triathlon was composed of the Enervon Activ Triking distance (2K swim-60 K bike-15 K run) for the main event and Enervon HP sprint distance (750m swim-20 K bike-5 K run) which reinforces San Juan’s growing reputation as a sports venue.
