Race through history as 5150 Dapitan fires off

DAPITAN CITY, Philippines – The quest for glory at the 5150 Dapitan Triathlon kicks off on Sunday here in Zamboanga del Norte, where athletes are not only racing for top honors but also making their mark on a venue steeped in national significance.

Organized by the IRONMAN Group Philippines for the second consecutive year, the Olympic-style triathlon features a 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike ride and 10 km run, with a compelling backdrop – the city where national hero Dr. Jose Rizal was exiled.
