THE City of Naga will host its second triathlon as the Sun Life 5i50 Triathlon Cebu and the Go For Gold (GFG) Sunrise Sprint takes place on April 28 at the city’s boardwalk.
“We want to show that there’s another venue for triathlon outside of the usual places. We looked for an area that can accommodate a number of participants with facilities to do the swim, bike and run,” said Princess Galura of Sunrise Events Inc. (SEI) on choosing the City on Naga as the venue.
The Sun Life 5i50, an Olympic distance race with 1.5-kilometer swim, 40K bike and 10K run, will have age-groupers, Asian Elite and pro participants.
City of Naga Mayor Kristine Vanessa Chiong said that holding this kind of sporting event is a positive development for a city that has a ‘vibrant community.’
“I wanted to share to you that we have a vibrant community, that’s why we have encouraged the residents of the City of Naga to engage in sports,” she said. “The city is into sports, you can see it in our oval, pool and gym facilities.”
This will be the second time that the City of Naga will host a triathlon event following the National Age Group Triathlon in December last year.
Adding spice to the event will be the presence of celebrities such as Piolo and Iñigo Pascual, Enchong Dee, Matteo Guidicelli, Gerald Anderson, Jake Cuenca, Kim Chiu, Isabelle Daza, Solenn Heussaff and brother Erwan, Drew Arellano, former Sen. Pia Cayetano and broadcasters Ivan Mayrina, Raffy Tima, Dyan Castillejo, Gretchen Fullido and Kim Atienza. (RSC)
