Kids aged 6-to-14 take center stage this Saturday as they showcase their stuff in their own version of triathlon – the Alaska IronKids – in Subic Bay.
Around 300 youngsters, expected to be led by the multi-titled Borlain sisters – Samantha, Tara and Franchezka, veteran internationalist Wacky Baniqued and Jane Macalaad, will see action in the event serving as the appetizer to the Century Tuna Ironman 70.3.
Up for grabs in the Alaska IronKids are the 6-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14 age-group titles and it will feature newcomers and regular campaigners.
The event also serves as the kickoff of a three-stage circuit, that includes two aquathlon on April 9 at the Manila Polo Club and on June 3, also in Subic. It will culminate in the Alaska IronKids Triathlon in Mactan, Cebu in August.
All category winners will be given free entry to the Cebu IronKids with free flights and accommodations, all courtesy of Alaska.
Produced and organized by Sunrise Events, Inc. and sponsored by Alaska Milk Corp., the Alaska IronKids is the junior version of the Ironman.
