Aboitiz TRI2015 up at Pico de Loro

MANILA, Philippines - Following the success of the Aboitiz TRI2014 triathlon last year, Aboitiz Equity Ventures (AEV) is set to host the event’s sequel, Aboitiz TRI2015, at the scenic Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club, Hamilo Coast, Nasugbu, Batangas on Sept. 12.

Aboitiz TRI2015 will start at 2 p.m., and engage participants in an Olympic-distance, point-to-point course in and around Pico de Loro and the Nasugbu-Ternate Highway. The 1.5-kilometer swim leg will be at Pico Beach.

The next phase is a 40-km cycling stretch that includes a steep climb to the highest point of Pico de Loro out to Nasugbu-Ternate highway before heading to T2 (Transition 2) at the Marina.

The 10-km run leg passes through tree-less avenues, rolling hills, a steep descent to the main resort area, and loops around the lagoon area leading to the finish line at around sunset.

“Aboitiz believes in doing well by doing good – always making the right long- term decisions that balance the interests of people, planet, and profit. By joining Aboitiz TRI2015, you help create a more sustainable future through a healthy, active lifestyle,” said Erramon Aboitiz, AEV president and chief executive officer.
