A stellar cast of triathletes will tackle the challenging 1.5-kilometer swim, 40-km and 10-km run race with the 22-year-old Reig heralding his presence on the local triathlon scene with a spectacular victory in the talent-packed field in the 5150 Subic in 2022.

His impressive runner-up finish to John Alcala in the demanding 70.3 Ironman, also in Subic last year, serves as a clear indicator of Reig’s preparedness to face seasoned campaigners in the Olympic-distance race, especially on the relatively unfamiliar terrain of Camarines Sur.
The race will start at Lago del Rey and culminate in front of the CamSur Convention Center, both situated within the renowned CamSur Water Sports Complex.
