OLONGAPO CITY — Subic Bay Freeport, known as the triathlon capital of the country, will host an international triathlon race on Sunday.
In a statement Friday, Jem Camba, head of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Tourism Department, said TriFactor Triathlon Philippines in Subic Bay is the latest addition to TriFactor’s Asian race.
“We welcome TriFactor as our latest addition to our international events that affirm Subic Bay’s claim to being the triathlon and sports tourism capital of the Philippines. As we team up with GoClark and Orange Room Asia, we look forward to more years of partnership that will benefit the tourism stakeholders of Subic Bay,” said Camba.
The swim will take place in the Boardwalk area of Subic Bay before heading out for the 40-kilometer bike ride on the main Argonaut Highway and reaching the NCT area alongside Subic Bay’s scenic seascape and natural harbor.
The last leg will be a run along SBMA’s Central Business District area, surrounded by a throng of friends, family, and supporters along the course.
Elvin Ting, TriFactor founder and CEO of Orange Room Asia, said he is looking forward to a great race after the last TriFactor triathlon in Camarines Sur three years ago.
“I am excited to finally bring the TriFactor triathlon event back to the Philippines and have an amazing start to the 2023 TriFactor region races,” said Ting.
The TriFactor Triathlon Philippines is part of the TriFactor Asian Race Series. The next TriFactor Philippines event will be held in Clark on July 9, 2023.
