Question 1

Where is the main transition area located?

Accepted Answer

The transition and race village are typically centered around Acea Subic Bay or the Boardwalk Area on Waterfront Road. Confirm the final athlete guide for the specific 2026 layout.

Question 2

Is the swim in open water or a protected bay?

Accepted Answer

The swim takes place in Subic Bay. While it is a bay, it can be choppy if there is wind from the southwest. Water temperature is usually around 28-29°C, making it non-wetsuit legal.

Question 3

What are the road conditions for the bike and run?

Accepted Answer

The roads in the Freeport Zone are generally well-paved and wide. However, be alert for speed bumps and drainage grates near the curb. For para-athletes, the course is designed to be flat and accessible.

Question 4

How do I get from Manila Airport to Subic Bay?

Accepted Answer

The most reliable method is a private van transfer (approx. 2.5-3 hours). Ensure you book a 'Subic-bound' accredited transport service that can accommodate bike boxes or racing chairs.

Question 5

Is there a designated area for para-athlete equipment storage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a secured transition area with specific racks for handcycles and wheelchairs. Official mechanics are usually on-site for the duration of the event.

Question 6

What is the heat management strategy for the race?

Accepted Answer

Humidity is extremely high (80%+). There are frequent aid stations with chilled water and sponges. Athletes are advised to arrive 3-4 days early to acclimatize to the tropical conditions.
