The thrill of duathlon returns to the north as the much-awaited Alviera Bike King Duathlon fires off today (September 8) at Alviera in Porac, Pampanga organized by Bike King.
Now on its 7th year, the annual run-bike-run event will see close to 500 duathletes test their running and biking abilities. Participants will start and end their race in Alviera, while the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway will be utilized for the bike leg. The race has a Standard distance course of 6 Kilometer running—60 Km biking—and 4 Km running, and a Sprint distance course of 3 Km running—30 Km biking–2 Km running.
In this event supported by Alviera, Smart, NLEX-SCTEX Metro Pacific Tollways, Standard Insurance, official timing partner Garmin and Hydration partners POCARI Sweat and Sip Purified Water, participants will ride their bikes from the SCTEX Porac exit until the Floridablanca exit where they will make a U-turn to go back to complete the bike leg. Standard distance competitors will need to complete two loops biking along the SCTEX. Roads of Alviera will be used for the 1st and 2nd run legs.
At stake are specially designed medals and gift packs for the top 3 finishers of each age-group category. The awarding ceremony is tentatively set at 11 a.m. at the Alviera village where the event expo will be set up for participants and their respective companions.
To get to Alviera coming from Metro Manila, participants and their companions are advised to go north via the North Luzon Expressway, take the exit leading to the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway heading towards the direction of Subic Bay, and then take the Porac exit.
