PNP organizes 1st Dagupan triathlon May 25
INSPIRED by the successful staging of Pangasinan’s first triathlon competition last April 30, the Philippine National Police Provincial Office will hold another triathlon event on May 25, dubbed as the “First Dagupan City Triathlon Championship.”
The Pangasinan PNP, headed by Senior Superintendent Isagani Nerez, is organizing the event in cooperation with the University of Pangasinan Sports Federation led by Mark Anthony Baliton.
Baliton said the competition will start and end at San Fabian Beach, near the PTA Beach Resort, with San Fabian Mayor Mojamito Libunao flagging off the participants for the 750-meter swim contest.
The swimming event will be followed by a 27-kilometer bike race that will end at the University of Pangasinan (UPang) passing through the national highways of San Fabian, Bonuan Road, Arellano-Bani Streets, A.B. Fernandez Ave., Burgos St., Tapuac MacArthur Highway, Jose de Venecia Blvd., Caranglaan MacArthur Highway, M.H. del Pilar St. and back to Arellano St.
The 5-kilometer foot race will take off at A.B. Fernandez Ave., pass through Burgos St., Perez Blvd., M.H. del Pilar St. and eventually finish in front of UPang.
The awarding ceremony will be held at the UPang campus.
The event will be done into two categories, the individual and team relay divisions, and is open to all interested athletes.
There will be an entry fee of P500 and P1,000 for the individual and team categories, respectively.
Cash prizes and trophies are up for grabs in each category.
PLDT and Coca-Cola are the principal sponsors of the competition.—JAG,Jr.
