Crafted in a 4Km run – 50Km bike – 12Km run combination, the Duathlon will take place on the same day as LPT, giving its athletes a chance to experience the race’s signature bike course.
Back by popular demand, Laguna Phuket Triathlon will once again include “Charity Fun Run” as a prelude for charity runners to help raise funds in support of local communities.
