Bataan hosts FAB Triathlon

MANILA, Philippines — Bataan is set to make history again – this time, in the spirit of sportsmanship and endurance – as it stages the first 5150 FAB Triathlon on Nov. 16.

Known for its pivotal role in World War II through the Battle of Bataan and the Bataan Death March, the province now shifts from a legacy of sacrifice to one of strength and resilience – this time in the arena of sport.

Organized by Sunrise Events, Inc., the 5150 FAB Triathlon is expected to draw athletes from across the region and beyond to compete in the Olympic distance format – a 1.5-km swim, 40-km bike ride and 10-km run.

The event was formally launched in a recent press conference led by Hussein Pangandaman, Administrator and CEO of the Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan (AFAB), who promised an unforgettable experience for athletes and spectators alike.

“The 5150 FAB Triathlon reflects our strong belief in the Freeport’s capacity to become a hub for world-class sporting events,” said Pangandaman.
