The IRONMAN Group Philippines and RLC Residences announced a new partnership in 2023. RLC Residences is the residential brand of Robinsons Land Corporation. It becomes the title sponsor for IRONKIDS Lapu-Lapu and IRONKIDS Davao for 2024.
This April will be the first event of the partnership. The brand extends its support for the budding young athletes. In the aquathlon, participants aged 6 to 15 years old will complete the race. It takes place at The Reef Island Resort in Mactan.
Voices behind the partnership
RLC Residences Head of Brand Management Mr. Dan Carlo Torres shares his enthusiasm for the event. “We are very excited to see this partnership unfold. We’ve been very supportive of IRONMAN, especially IRONKIDS. We also believe in the importance of promoting an active and purposeful lifestyle at such a young age. We hope to continuously be part of IRONMAN as we create more vibrant opportunities for our future triathletes,” he added.
“As we aspire to live our best lives, we work to inspire the wider community,” said Ms Princess Galura, Regional Director of the IRONMAN Group Philippines. “For 10 years, the IRONKIDS has been a part of the Cebuano youth’s stepping stone. It leads to a future in sports, representing the Philippines in international events, and a healthy, sporty lifestyle. Our partnership with RLC Residences allows us to do so. We are excited to hold the festivities for our youth once again in Lapu-Lapu this April,” she added.
