Damosa Land 5150 Triathlon Samal, Davao del Norte will take place on 21 September 2025 with registration opening on 3 December 2024 at ironman.com

Samal Island – The highly anticipated DAMOSA LAND 5150 Triathlon will take place on September 21, 2025, in the picturesque setting of Bridgeport, Samal Island. This exciting event promises an unforgettable experience for both triathletes and the community, set amidst the breathtaking beauty of one of the Philippines’ most captivating tropical islands.

Athletes will begin with a 1.5km looped swim in the crystal-clear waters fronting Bridgeport, following the coastline of Samal Island. They will then embark on a two-loop, fully-enclosed 40km rolling bike course along the Samal Circumferential Road towards Samal City Hall, offering stunning views of the Davao Gulf and Davao City.

The race culminates in a two-lap, 10km run course through the bustling business center of Samal Island, where enthusiastic locals and supporters will line the streets to cheer on participants.

The Damosa Land 5150 Triathlon Samal race weekend will also feature a Sprint Distance (750m swim, 20km bike, and 5km run) for aspiring and seasoned athletes seeking a shorter, yet equally rewarding, challenge.

Bridgeport, the central venue for the race week events, is Damosa Land’s 13-hectare marina lifestyle development located in Barangay Caliclic, Island Garden City of Samal. Inspired by the U.S. East Coast Hampton, Bridgeport will have a low-density condominium, a full-service marina, and premium amenities such as clubhouse, pools and hiking trails that promote the beauty of the development while supporting the well-being of the community. Seamlessly blending luxury and nature, Bridgeport can be accessed conveniently from Davao City via ferry or powerboat ride.

Ricardo “Cary” F. Lagdameo, President of Damosa Land, shared his thoughts on hosting the event. “We are excited to host the Damosa Land 5150 Triathlon at Bridgeport, our premier development on Samal Island. Bridgeport was designed to highlight the natural beauty of Samal while offering modern amenities, making it the perfect venue for an event of this caliber.
