RAISING LITTLE CHAMPIONS: Next Gen Racers Gear Up for RLC IRONKIDS Swim-Bike-Run and Run Only Events in Subic
Subic Bay, Philippines (13 June 2025) – The next generation of triathletes will take center stage this Saturday, June 14, as the RLC Residences IRONKIDS Subic Bay Swim-Bike-Run event kicks off at the Subic Bay Boardwalk. Open to young athletes aged 6 to 15, the race is part of the action-packed Century Tuna IRONMAN 70.3 Subic Bay weekend, and marks the second IRONKIDS event of the year presented by RLC Residences.
Following the successful 2025 IRONKIDS staging in Puerto Princesa earlier this year, the Subic leg continues RLC’s “Raising Little Champions” campaign - an initiative that celebrates health, confidence, and courage in kids through fun and meaningful sporting experiences. With Subic Bay's athlete-friendly landscape and the full support of the local triathlon community, IRONKIDS delivers a one-of-a-kind race day experience tailored just for kids. From an aquathlon in Puerto Princesa, Subic Bay welcomes the only triathlon IRONKIDS race this year.
The event features distances across swim, bike, and run legs, with categories designed to encourage participation and achievement, not just competition. Every participant receives a bib, shirt, finisher medal, and a bundle of exciting surprises.
The Swim-Bike-Run event will be complemented by the IRONKIDS Run Only category for younger athletes or those easing into the sport. This non-competitive fun run is all about movement, joy, and inclusion with no timing, just cheers.
Podium finishers in each age group for the Swim-Bike-Run event will be recognized in an awarding ceremony on-site.
“IRONKIDS has always been one of the most heartfelt highlights of every race weekend,” said Princess Galura, General Manager of Sunrise Events Inc. “It reminds us that triathlon is for everyone and that sport has the power to build confidence, courage, and community from the very start.”
Before race day, young athletes and their families are invited to a special RLC Residences Family Day, happening on Friday, June 13, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Grand Ballroom, Subic Grand Harbour Hotel. Open to all, this pre-race celebration promises fun activities, exciting treats, and meaningful moments for kids and their supporters.
Shuttle service will be available to and from SBECC to ensure a smooth and convenient experience for attendees.
Registration for Family Day is free and open to everyone via this link: https://forms.gle/n6HCpkQizzmZ2oai9
The IRONKIDS Subic Bay event is part of a weekend festival of sport, which also includes the Century Tuna IRONMAN 70.3, the Sunrise Sprint, the RLC Residences Family Day, and the Great IRONMAN Sale: Warehouse Wipeout.
As the official youth event of the IRONMAN 70.3 weekend, RLC Residences IRONKIDS continues to build a strong foundation for triathlon in the Philippines instilling lifelong values and inspiring tomorrow’s champions.
