SuBIT part of 2019 One Belt One Road Triathlon series

MANILA, Philippines — The 2019 NTT ASTC Subic Bay International Triathlon (SuBIT) Asian Cup slated on April 27-28 will be part of the 2019 One Belt One Road Triathlon series.

This arrangement highlights the decades-long relationship between the Triathlon Association of the Philippines (TRAP), the Chinese Taipei Triathlon Association (CTTA) and the China Triathlon Sports Association (CTSA).

CTSA will field this year the Chinese national team to the SuBIT with TRAP reciprocating with a team of triathletes seeing action in the 2019 Lianyungang ASTC Triathlon Asian Cup and 2019 Jiayuguan ASTC Triathlon Asian Cup. The latter events serve as the second and third legs of the One Belt One Road Triathlon series.

“For the past years, TRAP and CTSA have been keeping a good relationship and communication. Thanks for the invitation and help from TRAP, Chinese national triathletes participated in the Subic Bay ASTC Triathlon Asian Cups for many times and got good results.

“Meanwhile, our two national federations have always been supporting each other during ASTC Congress elections and other international activities,” CTSA secretary general Chen Xiaoran said.

The CTTA is sending the Chinese Taipei national team and a good number of age-groupers to join the SuBIT.

Registration is ongoing with entry fees now set at P5,500 per participant for Standard Distance, P5,000 for Sprint Distance, P4,000 for Super Sprint Distance and P9,000 for Team Relay.

Listup ends March 31 or earlier when all slots have been filled up. Online registration can be done at https://regonline.activeglobal.com/subit2019 Details: Triathlon.org.ph or send email at [email protected].
