Huge field gears up for CT Ironman 70.3

Over 800 triathletes, including 22 pros and six in the Asian Elite division, make up the early roster in the 2017 Century Tuna Ironman 70.3 firing off next month in Subic Bay.

Organizers expect the international field to hit over 1,000 when the third staging of the premier swim-bike-run event is held on March 12. The inaugural run drew 902 participants while 823 took part in last year’s edition.
