IRONMAN 70.3 Lapu-Lapu, known as one of the most grueling endurance challenges in the Asia-Pacific region, witnessed the Nissan tri-team pushing their limits across a demanding course. The challenge comprised a 1.9-kilometer swim, a 90-kilometer bike ride against strong headwinds that spanned the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), and a grueling 21-kilometer run in scorching 33°C heat.
The Nissan tri team was represented by three distinct groups: the Nissan Brand Ambassador group led by Nissan ambassadors Matteo Guidicelli and Bubbles Paraiso, the Nissan Employee group, and the Nissan Dealer Principals group. Each group played a part in Nissan’s success, braving the scorching heat and strong winds during the race. Despite these challenges, the team showed grit, navigating the course with precision and resilience.
“We are proud of the performance of our Nissan team at the 2024 IRONMAN 70.3 Lapu-Lapu,” said Nissan Philippines. “Their remarkable dedication and perseverance reflect the core values of Nissan, embodying the brand’s DNA of “Daring to do what others don’t” as they challenged their capabilities all throughout the race, and we couldn’t be prouder of their achievements.”
In addition to their collective efforts, each group within the Nissan team showcased remarkable individual performances, contributing to the brand’s overall success at the 2024 Ironman 70.3 Lapu-Lapu. The Nissan Brand Ambassador group finished in the top 30% overall and top 10 for mixed relay teams, while the Nissan Employee team finished in the top 50% overall. Not to be outdone, the Nissan Dealer Principals finished strong in the top 70% overall.
“We congratulate all participants of IRONMAN 70.3 Lapu-Lapu on a successful event,” said Nissan Philippines. “Nissan is proud to have been part of this event, and we look forward to continuing to support and inspire athletes as they push the boundaries of endurance and achievement.”
