Elmer Santiago, the better half of the country’s power couple, the other being women’s full IM champ Ines, and duathlon king Edgar Puruganan are also set to duke it out, not only for the coveted overall plum but also for spots in two Ironman World Championships. Evangeline Endaya, meanwhile, targets the top podium finish in the women’s side of the race sponsored by Century Pacific Food, Inc. through its top brand Century Tuna, in the absence of compatriot and last year’s winner Ines Santiago, who has opted to compete in the Subic 70.3 triathlon.
Japan has 30 entries, the US has 16 and Korea has 10 competitors in the premier event, which has lured 334 entries from 33 countries with 90 vying in the 45-49 age category and 65 in the 40-44 bracket of the event backed by Asia supplier partners Always Advancing, Ekoi and Nirvana; media partners Outside and Sportgraf.com; venue host Subic Bay, and Lightwater, NLEX/SCTEX, 2Go and Prudential Guarantee.
