The Island Garden City of Samal will make its long-awaited debut as a triathlon destination on Sept. 21 when it hosts the Damosa Land 5150 where a test of endurance happens in one of the most breathtaking tropical islands in the country.
From crystal-clear waters to rolling coastal roads and vibrant local cheering squads, 5150 Samal promises a multisport adventure that racers and spectators will never forget.
The action kicks off in the stunning waters fronting Bridgeport, a luxury marina community for the 1.5-kilometer swim course, before a two-loop, 40-km bike ride along the scenic Samal Circumferential Road that offers postcard-perfect views of Davao Gulf and the Davao City skyline.
The race wraps up with a 10-km run through Samal’s lively business district, where streets will be lined with enthusiastic supporters and local communities, creating an unforgettable finish line energy.
Organized by Sunrise Events, Inc., the Samal 5150 is part of the renowned 5150 and Sunrise Sprint series, bringing international-caliber racing to the Philippines’ most stunning destinations.
“This event will not only challenge athletes but also leave a lasting impression,” said Princess Galura, president and managing director of SEI. “Samal is the perfect backdrop for a race that’s both world-class and deeply Filipino.”
