Sipalay City to Host National Triathlon 2012

Sipalay City will host the National Age Group Triathlon Series 2012 on March 24, 2012. Sipalay is an ideal location since it has very good road network and the fact that it has also one of the country’s best beaches is also an added plus factor.

Since the Sipalay triathlon event will be held during the peak season, it is advisable that those attending will book their accommodation earlier. You may check out the list of Sipalay beach resorts and pension houses you may choose from.
