CLARK FREEPORT ZONE, Philippines (Jul 2026) — Hundreds of multi-sport athletes pushed their physical limits under the blazing sun as a massive crowd flocked to the sold-out Duaman Duathlon 2026 over the weekend.
The event saw a diverse mix of participants, from first-timers navigating their very first transition to seasoned age-group veterans trying to set personal records on the fast, flat, and wind-exposed roads of Clark. Everyone faced the double challenge of rising tropical temperatures and aggressive early pacing right out of the first transition.
A community united by sweat
For many participants, the race was less about beating others and more about personal growth. One age-group participant shared that crossing the finish line felt deeply personal, noting that the race constantly serves as a reminder of why they started their multi-sport journey in the first place.
The event remains a cornerstone for the local multi-sport community. Carlos de Guzman, the founder of SBR.ph, highlighted that seeing absolute beginners race alongside long-time veterans proves how much stronger the community becomes each year. He described the race as the true heartbeat of the SBR.ph Tri Series.
