[sharkey360]

Is anyone here interested in triathlon (swim-bike-run)? The sport has been organized around the country for at least twenty years now and in recent years it became more mainstream and gained more prominence (especially since it became an Olympic medal sport in 2000).

We have done this several times in the past and this has showcased Subic as a perfect sports haven to a lot of foreigners who have competed here, including several world triathlon champions. What is good too is that now we have another international triathlon being hosted by Subic Bay,” Carrasco added.
