MANILA, Philippines —  New triathlon hopefuls and adventure seekers will find their perfect entry point into multisport racing at the Sunrise Sprint set tomorrow in Camiguin.

Among the standout competitors in the 15-19 division are Mark Rafanan, Marco Calumpang, John Wilfred Cutab, Clint Dayday, and Ray-Jan Cabingas in the men’s field, along with Zoe Cachola in the women’s division. The 20-24 category features Mario Pinlac III, Benjie Amorato, Jemmuel Ortiz, Jericu Rosal, and Denver Dayonot for the men, while Jessica Lim and Bianca Lim headline the women’s side.
