Sunrise Sprint opens road to bigger triathlon dreams

MANILA, Philippines — Returning as an integral part of the Sun Life 5150 Bohol Triathlon weekend, the Sunrise Sprint on Sunday once again serves as the gateway to the sport.

More than just a curtain-raiser to the milestone 10th staging of the Sun Life 5150 Bohol Triathlon, the Sunrise Sprint has become a defining feature of every 5150 Bohol edition. Year after year, it has introduced newcomers to the sport while inspiring many to pursue bigger goals – from completing Olympic-distance races to eventually competing among the country’s elite triathletes.

It features a 750-meter open-water swim, a 20-km bike ride and a 5-km run. The shorter format allows first-timers to experience the unique demands of triathlon without the extensive preparation required for longer races.
