It will provide WiFi connectivity, laptops, Tattoo sticks, and cash support to the game so participants, organizers, and spectators can all have a wonderful digital experience sharing the event real time with the rest of the world.

Twelve of the participants belong to the Globe Triathlon Team which regularly competes in Ironman 70.3 Philippines since it started six years ago.  Team Globe expects to better their personal best in the local premier event.

This year, there will be improvements on the swim course as well as transition areas to accommodate the larger field. The slight change on the bike route presents a new challenge while the ever scorching run course will further test the athletes’ stamina.
