ORGANIZER: GoClark
EVENT DETAILS
At least 700 participants are expected at the New Clark City Triathlon 2019 to test the country’s
new sports facilities before the upcoming 30th South East Asian (SEA) Games. “New Clark City is a perfect venue for a triathlon since it’s the first [modern] facility intended for the SEA Games. Participants will have a chance to be one of the first to use the pools at the Aquatics Center and the track oval at the Athletics Stadium,” said GoClark Sports and Events Director Jumbo Tayag.
GoClark is an organization that promotes health and wellness through endurance and multisport events. The 20,000-seater Athletics Stadium and 2,000-seater Aquatics Center are already more than 90 percent completed.
“This is totally a fresh change from the usual venues in Subic and Clark,” Tayag added. He also cited the new access road from the new city to the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway which will boost accessibility in the area and ease traffic especially during main events.The race also serves as a send-off for the national triathletes who will compete at the biennial games.
Tayag will lead the opening ceremony of the race together with Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) President and CEO Vince Dizon and MTD Clark, Inc. President Engr. Patrick Nicholas David. Celebrity athletes are also expected to join the race.
