CEBU, Philippines - Cebuano triathletes take another shot to be part of the national team with the staging of the third leg of the National Age-Group Triathlon (NAGT) Series on April 6 in Danao City's Boardwalk.
It's the first time in five years that Danao hosted an NAGT leg, said Danao City Administrator and sports commisison chairman Oscar "Boying" Rodriguez, Jr. in a press conference yesterday at Irie Gastropubliko.
The race features an adult and kids category plus a duathlon for those who don't know how to swim or opt not to swim.
Adult triathletes will deal with a one-kilometer swim, 30km bike and 7.5km run.
There will also be a relay competition.
For the supertrikids, the age groups to be contested are the under-7, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, and 13-15.
The duathlon, on the other hand, has been included upon the prodding of the locals led by no less than Danao Mayor Ramon "Nito" Durano III.
Aside from medals, cash prizes will also be given away to the top three overall finishers in the men's and women's open.
Non-winners will have something to look forward as exciting items such as Rudy Project watches, sungglasses and bags will be raffled off.
Registration fee is pegged at P1,000 for the triathlon and P500 for the supertrikids and duathlon.
Entry forms are available at Rudy Project in Ayala and SM and The Brick Tri Shop. (FREEMAN)
