Enervon Activ Bohol Iron Distance Triathlon slated

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - The country’s longest triathlon – the Enervon Activ 226 Bohol Triathlon – puts the toughest athletes to the supreme test of endurance on a 3.8 km swim, 18 km bike and a full marathon Dec. 6 in Panglao, Bohol.

The world-class Bellevue Bohol Resort, which boasts of luxurious guestrooms and a spectacular view of Panglao Island, hosts the ironman race which starts at 7 a.m. with a cutoff time of 17 hours.

To make sure they are 100 percent on race day, participants will be provided with the right stamina and extra immunity to survive the challenge through title sponsor Enervon Activ multivitamins.

Enervon Activ is part of Unilab Active Health’s Sports Nutrition System. The nutrition line includes Enervon HP Recovery Drink and Active Health Sports Gel.

“Training makes superb athletes, but proper nutrition plays an equally important role in ensuring the athlete’s best performance. Enervon Activ will help build stamina for the athletes as they train for this event up to race day,” said Bianca Sison-Cortez, brand manager of Enervon Activ, which was launched in October last year.

The Enervon Activ 226 Bohol Triathlon is being put together by Bike King. Slots for the first-of-its-kind race will be limited. Online registration is ongoing and will be open until Oct. 15.

 “We are expecting around 120 participants, mostly top long-distance elite and age-group triathletes. It will be a small and intimate kind of race compared to the other triathlon races that we organize like the Tri United series,” said Raul Cuevas of Bike King.

Bike King is also the organizer of the Tri United Series, the second leg of which (Tri United 2) was held last month and attracted a record 750 triathletes. Next up, before the Bohol race, is the Active Health Duathlon in Porac, Pampanga-SCTex.

According to Cuevas, it has been quite a while since local triathletes competed in an Iron-Distance race. The first Iron-Distance race in the Philippines was held in Matabungkay, Batangas in 2002, also organized by Bike King.
