For the third year in a row, the event will draw out the toughest among triathletes, delivering a challenging Olympic-distance triathlon set against the scenic Batangas coast.
Hosted by Aboitiz Equity Ventures and organized by Bike King, the event’s afternoon gun start has made it popular with triathletes who are also looking for a day trip or an accessible “racecation” weekend with family and friends.
Aboitiz TRI2016 is set to start at 2 p.m. on Pico Beach with a 1.5-kilometer swim in the crystal blue waters of Pico de Loro cove. It is followed by the challenging 40-kilometer bike leg, as cyclists make their way from Transition 1, up a steep hill to the highest point of the cove before doing three loops along Nasugbu-Ternate Highway and ending the route at Hamilo Coast marina.
