Samal ready for 5150 Islands Series finale
MANILA, Philippines — Champions will be crowned on Sept. 20 as the inaugural 5150 Triathlon Islands of the Philippines Series culminates on Samal Island, where athletes will face the final test of a four-leg endurance challenge spanning some of the country’s most scenic island destinations.
The Damosa Land 5150 Triathlon finale will follow the familiar 5150 format – a 1.5-kilometer swim, 40-kilometer bike and 10-kilometer run – but the Samal race carries significance beyond being the final stop on the calendar. It caps a series built to test athletes across varied island courses while highlighting the growing appeal of triathlon in the Philippines.
The series opened in Guimaras in March, moved to Camiguin in May and continued in Bohol before heading to Samal for the fourth and final leg. While the race format remains consistent, each destination presents athletes with a distinct mix of terrain, weather, roads and race-day conditions.
