The city is blessed with natural resources and landscape to hold excellent mass-participation events such as triathlons and marathons, mountain bike and motor cross races, beach volleyball, and other water sports competitions.

“Talagang naka-project na ang Puerto Princesa sa sports tourism. Syempre yung hinahabol nating sports tourism yung mayroong international flavor,” City Mayor Lucilo Rodriguez Bayron said.

Mega sports events such as Ironman and dragon boat festival can be catalysts for tourism development in Puerto Princesa if successfully leveraged in terms of destination branding, infrastructure development and other economic, cultural, and social benefits.

Gathering strength, determination, and a sea of endurance: Participants unite for the Ironman 70.3 Puerto Princesa 2023, capturing the essence of the long-distance triathlon journey in a single frame.

IRONMAN 70.3 PUERTO PRINCESA-ASIA TRI-CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

The second year of the IRONMAN 70.3 Puerto Princesa - Asia Tri-Club Championship, the ultimate test of endurance, strategy, and strength, capped off the Philippines' triathlon season. It was successfully held in Puerto Princesa on November 12.

A total of 523 foreign and Filipino triathletes from 38 countries participated in the amazing race. Satar Salem (4 hours, 22 minutes, and 25 seconds) and Leyann Ramo (5 hours, 2 minutes, and 56 seconds) both of Tri SND Barracuda dominated the top overall age group for the male and female categories, respectively.

The competition was divided into three segments: a 1.9-kilometer swim in Puerto Princesa Baywalk, a 90-kilometer bike ride through the city’s southern part, and a 21.1-kilometer run. The grueling course covered 113.0 kilometers, or 70.3 miles.

City Mayor Lucilo Rodriguez Bayron expressed his gratitude to the organizers, participants, and spectators for their support for Ironman 70.3. He also showed confidence that the competition will be successfully held again in the city next year as more local and foreign delegates are expected to attend.

THIRD LEGENDS RIDE 2023

The city understands that one of the most popular ways to experience a destination is through a sports event. It allows sports enthusiasts as well as tourists to better engage with local people, nature, and culture.

That happened when about 200 local and visiting riders participated in the 3rd Legends Ride 2023 held on November 18 in Puerto Princesa. The sports activity is part of the successful Subaraw Biodiversity Festival 2023.

From the starting point at Caltex Junction 3, the riders of different groups from all over the country, led by the Tamilok Motorcycle Group, marched together. The other participants were the Big Bikes, Palawan Street Monkeys, Himass Motorcycle Group/Hijos, United Sports Bike of Palawan (USP) and others on small bikes.

The route took the legend riders to Puerto Princesa landmarks such as the Montible Junction, Napsan at the Villa Francesca Resort in Simpocan, the Tala Beach Resort and straight to the Tennis Covered Court of the Ramon V. Mitra Sports Complex, inside Balayong People’s Park.

“Thank you very much for bringing the Legends Ride to our city. Because you enjoyed it, you will definitely come back here. You are always welcome here in Puerto Princesa City,” said City Mayor Bayron at the fellowship dinner at the Tennis Covered Court as he congratulated the organizers, riders, guests, and sponsors for the successful holding of the Legends Ride 2023.

Jun Diagono, president of the National Federation of Motorcycles said they are very happy with the success of Legends Ride 2023. He set two goals in going to Puerto Princesa City: first was to unite all the big bikes clubs in the Philippines; and second, to invite various groups to the National Motorcycle Convention on April 26-27, 2024, at the Subic Bay Convention Center.

Diagono also convinced Puerto Princesa City bike legend Edward Butch Chase to hold the national convention in the city next year. He also promised to bring LMFI’s 54-member bike clubs to participate in the upcoming event, including the Federation of Bikes Club based in Mindanao.

At the awarding, the youngest rider was Blu Andre Rausa, 19 years old; and the oldest rider was Bob Del Rosario, 74 years old.

A Special Citation was given to Philip Dulatas as the overall chair of the event, and a Certificate of Greatest Appreciation for the support of William Genato, Naj Abdul, and Elroy John “Clink: Hagedorn.

2ND INTERNATIONAL DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL 2023

The 2nd International Dragon Boat Festival 2023, held on November 19, attracted teams from Chinese Taipei, Manila, Cebu and Siargao which competed in the just-concluded 200-meter event. From this series of international activities, it has been proven that it is possible to raise the level of programs and activities in Puerto Princesa.

Strength, strategy, paddling speed, and teamwork were the advantages of the 'paddlers' who won the championship in the final competition. They showed the audience a breath-taking fight. Everyone wants to get away and no one wants to be left behind. So even on a sunny day, the applause and screams from the audience were loud and clear.

In the Women’s Category, the Alliance of Masters from Manila won the championship; 1st runner-up is the Philippine Titans – Manila; Fire Dragons A is 2nd runner-up – Manila; and Rampage is 3rd runner-up – Manila.

In the Men’s Category, Mr. Canoe from Chinese Taipei won the championship. Followed by Philippine Titans in second place, Dagun Pilipinas A in third place and Alliance of Masters in fourth place.

The battle in the Mixed Category was also uneventful where the Siargao Dragons from Surigao del Norte proved that they deserve to be champions. The Alliance of Masters placed second; Hongkong China Canoe took third place followed by SAG-1 from Manila in fourth place.

In the Masters Category where those aged 40 and above were given the opportunity to show their skills, the Sugbo Mighty Dragons from Cebu became champions; followed in second place by the Alliance of Masters; Rampage in third place; and Blue Phoenix from Manila in fourth place.

Praise and admiration were showered on the leadership of the Philippine Canoe Kayak Dragon Boat Federation, or PCKDF, for taking the lead in organizing the international sports event in the city.

Also heavily praised were the efforts shown by Mayor Lucilo Rodriguez Bayron in the tremendous success achieved by the municipal government for the competition.

“It was not easy but we know that we can win these big international events of ours. Of course with the support of department heads, city hall employees and the citizens who are there to support what we do. And even the organizations that trust us for big events. I am very grateful,” said City Mayor Bayron. “Please also expect that there are many more activities to look forward to that will definitely make the city recognized by the whole world not only for its eco-tourism wealth but also to become famous as the Sports Tourism Capital of the Philippines!”

Semana Santa and Spring Break adventures

Semana Santa (Holy Week) is a big deal here. Similar to the Philippines, also a predominantly Christian/Catholic country, almost the entire week of Easter is a holiday. It’s the peak of high season for the beaches and we were warned that it would be crazy on the coasts, but quiet in San Jose, so we opted to stay close to home and wait for the Easter Bunny ❤️ and then venture out to the beach the following week for spring break.

We started off Easter weekend with a road trip. We had heard that the crater of the Poas Volcano was gorgeous, although due to fog, difficult to see. And sure enough…when we arrived we were in the middle of a giant cloud. So we went for a hike and came back to the crater just as luckily the clouds cleared and we saw the gorgeous milky blue of the crater lake.

That afternoon we booked our first coffee farm tour. Costa Rica is known for amazing coffee and farm tours are a popular tourist activity so we checked out the Starbucks farm near Poas and weren’t disappointed. The farm was gorgeous, lunch was great and we had fun learning about harvesting coffee on the tour. Kai even liked it! (Although she said the coffee tasting was ‘gross’). 😉

The next day we went to Parque Diversiones (an amusement park) with another family. We had been a couple months back with my work for family day and Kai had been dying to go back. A holiday weekend when most are out at the beach was a great time to be there and walk on most rides. Kai got brave and did the roller coasters…and loved them. Watch out for Cedar Point this summer when we visit Ohio! 😳

Saturday morning the streets of San Jose were a ghost town as the entire city seemed to have emptied toward the beaches. So I asked my triathlon coach to help me plan a reasonable route (one without crazy elevation…I’ve learned there is nothing flat here…there is elevation and then there is insane grade/straight up…). I’m loving getting out to explore on my bike. Feels like I really get to see more of the country up close from my bike. Many little towns have the cutest signs in the town square. I’m starting to collect photos of my bike with the cute town signs. ;)

After the Easter bunny arrived Sunday morning and Kai tracked down all the eggs in the yard we took off for Guanacaste (the main/popular beach area). We booked a few days in a planned town/development called Las Catalinas and loved it! Beautiful beach on a cove, all walkable streets, and mountain biking with incredible views!

I was toward the end of training for my first triathlon in Costa Rica and this was the perfect spot to mix workouts with family beach/pool time. It even had one of the most unique gyms I have ever seen on the beach. Flintstones? :)

Kai even got in on the workouts and did an open water swim with me out to a platform in the middle of the cove. Go little person! The beach club pool had a great view as well. I did get a few laps in one morning while Kai sat at the end saying ‘mommy, are you done yet, can we play now?’ ;)

It was a great mix of family time, workouts, beach and pool. We’ll be back for sure!

So, first Semana Santa in Costa Rica in the books and checked off a few more spots on our ‘must see Costa Rica’ list!
