Nat’l players vying in Active duathlon

A total of 800 racers vie to conquer a challenging new race course when the 2014 Active Health Duathlon heads to Sandbox, Alviera in Porac, Pampanga, this Sunday.

Previously staged in South Clark, Pampanga, the tough 6K run-60K bike-4K run will now traverse the Porac access road in the run leg, while the cycling route will cross the Alviera to Dinalupihan stretch in SCTEX.

Robeno Javier and Monica Torres topped the inaugural race in 2012, while Augusto Benedicto and Mirasol Abad ruled last year’s edition.

National team members and veteran duathletes have signed up in the elite category where the top male and female finishers will receive P10,000 each.

The elite runners-up will also get cash prizes, while the age-group division winners will be awarded medals and gift packs.

Details of the race, which is organized by BikeKing headed by Raul Cuevas and presented by Unilab Active Health, are posted on www.Bikekingphilippines.com

Race kits may be claimed this Saturday at Sandbox, Alviera or at the Unilab main office conference room F, Bayanihan Center in Pasig City.
