What do you say about us?

I had been told by at least half a dozen people that this was a ‘must do’ race. so I took the opportunity to see what all of the buzz was about…..I was not disappointed!

Crowds on the bike course were out of this world…every section of the course had people cheering for you- especially the school kids singing and playing music- it was a wonderful experience.
so many spectators lining the course- couldn’t help but smile the entire 21km.

Cannot emphasise enough how perfectly organised this race is- nothing is left to chance and everything worked like clockwork. The race organising team was one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

BRILLIANT race in a fantastic location. I met some of the most amazing people in Cam Sur and was treated like a princess

The people of the Philippines are amongst the friendliest, most welcoming and kindest

Love the video, shared it with everyone hoping it will continue to grow the sport in the Philippines! Thank you again for having me, always such a treat!

Philippines, you once again have given me a race I will never forget. The Filipino people, you have again challenged me to appreciate my life and count blessings, I’ve made so many new friends and enjoyed reuniting with old ones. You are so beautiful with those giant smiles strung across your faces.

I’m going to get you guys a “real” thank you, but I just wanted to say how much fun I had over in the Philippines. It was unlike any other experience I’ve ever had. I felt like a king. Absolutely amazing. Thank you soooo much, and already looking forward to next year!

Meg and I have just had a great few days out here. Its has been a special journey and experience. We feel so privileged to have had this opportunity.

We have been really touched by all the children cheering for us so we are going to get involved with the Children’s Hour Charity and make some donations and encourage our friends back home to donate. It is a great idea and we really want to give something back.

Thank you again for everything and we hope the event is on again next year and we can be here again.

I had a good time and a good race too

Everything is relaxed and easy, well organized. I start to know everyone around here and it feels like home!

Congratulations on putting such a race!

Thanks again for everything, and see you next year for sure!

Thank you for another FABULOUS event. We all had a great time. Most of the people in the convention center have not idea how much work you have put into this. Hope the happy faces you saw tonight (awards night) make it all worthwhile. THANK YOU.

We are treated as a VIP when we land to Manila and transit to Naga airport without any problem and smoothly, very big welcome crew waiting for us at Naga airport!! The welcome and award dinner is five star quality from venue decoration, food to service, especially the surprising “Ironman cup cake”!!

If I can rate for Asia Ironman event, I will put SIX stars to your event and name it as a “Destination event”. We look forward for 2012 edition and I will try my best to encourage more Hong Kong people to Philippines. Ironman 70.3 Camsur is a well organise, safe and friendly race in Philippines and Asia.

I have been extremley impressed by the top standard of your race. Logistics, Race safety, Expo, Hotels, Award banquet have all been outstanding. Everyone has been helpful and friendly. I made a number of new friends and I hope that I will return to race in the future.

Great event, and thanks for the hard work!

As promised, we will have more people coming next year.

I like the idea of using basketball rim as the “target” for trash can.

Words cannot convey our appreciation for your efforts to produce and organize such a quality event as the Ironman 70.3 Philippines. It was such a great experience for our Aloha Tri Sports Goodwill Team that we are sure it will be the highlight of conversation for many days to come as we bring our stories back to our friends and family in Kona.

It was so special to us to go into the schools and meet the kids of Naga City and Cam Sur – as it was their cheers and their energy and support along the course on race day that helped our team to finish. Each one of our participants finished the race and that in itself made this trip pretty awesome – for everyone to take finisher medals and finisher shirts home.

We hope you both are recovering well as we know how much hard work it takes to put on a race. And we wish you all the best as you put this race in the history books and move on to the next project which we are sure is not too far away…..

Basically nobody leaves the Philippines disappointed after experiencing the atmosphere and well oiled machine of passionate individuals that put this event together.

Anything can and does happen and I mean that in a positive sense.

From a welcoming committee and dancers at the tiny Naga airport where all athletes are received, to flamboyant cultural shows, and this year, a cirque de solis at the carbo loadin

If you have a bucket list. This is one race you should be putting to the top of your list. You won’t be disappointed.

First of all, I want to express my extreme admiration for the event and its organization. No other sporting event comes close to the scale and grandeur of the Ironman event in the Philippines. I am glad to have participated in the celebration of athletic endeavor and human spirit.
