The IRONKIDS, the junior counterpart of the IRONMAN series, gets a significant boost with the backing of RLC Residences with the partnership aiming to promote an active and purposeful lifestyle among young athletes.

The collaboration kicks off on 20 April, where RLC Residences, the residential brand of Robinsons Land Corp., will extend its support to youngsters participating in the aquathlon.

The event, to be held at The Reef Island Resort in Mactan, will feature participants aged 6 to 15 competing in various age-group divisions.

RLC Residences head of Brand Management Dan Carlo Torres emphasized their commitment to supporting the IRONKIDS and fostering opportunities for future triathletes.

"We are very excited to see this partnership unfold. We've been very supportive of IRONMAN, especially IRONKIDS because we also believe in the importance of promoting an active and purposeful lifestyle at such a young age and we hope to continuously be part of IRONMAN as we create more vibrant opportunities for our future triathletes," Torres said.

Princess Galura, the Regional Director of the organizing The IRONMAN Group Philippines, highlighted the significance of the IRONKIDS event in nurturing the Cebuano youth's interest in sports and encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle.
