Laguna Phuket Triathlon in Thailand has the longest tradition in triathlon in Asia attracting the sport’s legends and age groupers alike to the stunning tropical island for two decades. This week-long celebration of sport will incorporate the iconic Laguna Phuket Triathlon and half distance Challenge Laguna Phuket with a host of sporting and social activities in between.
The Challenge Laguna Phuket course features a 1.9km swim off a stunning white sand beach with both sea water and freshwater sections in two different bodies of water with a 100m sprint in between. The 90km bike combines steep hilly sections with typical lush Thai scenery while the predominantly flat 21km run leads athletes through some of the island’s most luxurious resorts before finishing at Laguna Grove.
Phuket is an island paradise in southern Thailand only a short flight from Asian capital cities: Bangkok (1 hour), Singapore (1.5 hours) and Hong Kong (3.5 hours). Phuket is renowned for its miles of sandy white beaches, the azure waters of the Andaman Sea and warm Thai hospitality.
Located approximately 860km south of Bangkok, Phuket is Thailand’s largest island, which is often dubbed as ‘the pearl of the Andaman Sea’, or ‘the pearl of the south’. Its natural resources – rocky peninsulas, limestone cliffs, white powdery beaches, tranquil broad bays and tropical inland forests contribute to making it the South’s wealthiest, busiest, most visited and most popular island and province.
