Davao stakes world tilt slots

A one-of-a-kind racing experience awaits the more than a thousand participants in the Alveo IRONMAN 70.3 Davao with berths to this year’s World Championship up for grabs in the premier endurance race firing off Sunday, March 26, at Azuela Cove.

On top of the 30 slots offered in various age-group categories, the blue-ribbon event is also staking 25 extra spots for women to the 2023 VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World

Championship on Aug. 26-27 in Lahti, Finland.

That makes this weekend’s 1.9 km swim, 90km bike and 21k run event powered by Petron doubly exciting with the qualifiers gaining the rare chance to race under the Nordic midnight sun in Lahti, the gateway to the Finnish Lake District, less than an hour from the capital city of Helsinki.

The event, organized by The IRONMAN Group/Sunrise Events, Inc., has already generated so much interest, this marking the return of the pros in local triathlon in general, and in Davao in particular, after it hosted the IM 70.3 in 2018 and 2019.
