5150 Guimaras: Test of resilience, journey of discovery

MANILA, Philippines —  The global 5150 Triathlon Series makes its debut in Guimaras on March 8, bringing Olympic-distance racing to the scenic shores of Playa de Paraiso in San Lorenzo, while kicking off another busy season for elite athletes, rising endurance racers and future stars.

The 5150 Guimaras, featuring 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km run, starts in the clear waters off Playa de Paraiso where athletes will dive into calm, blue waters before mounting their bikes to traverse rolling countryside and the Guimaras Circumferential Road. The route offers stunning coastal views and passes local landmarks like the Guimaras Museum, blending athletic challenge with glimpses of the island’s rich heritage.

By the time runners reach the final stretch near the Provincial Capitol Grounds, the race becomes as much a test of resilience as it is a journey of discovery.
