Nissan Philippines recently announced its participation in the country’s Ironman 70.3 triathlon, revealing the three teams that will be heading to Cebu this April to represent the automotive brand.
The three teams are the Nissan Brand Ambassador group, the Nissan Employee group, and the Nissan Dealer Principals group. Leading the Brand Ambassador group is Matteo Guidicelli, who will kick off the triathlon in a 1.9-km swim course, followed by actress Bubbles Paraiso who will be tackling the 90-km bike segment. Nissan PH president Juan Manuel Hoyos will be taking on the 21-km run to complete the course.
Founded in 2013, the Ironman Philippines triathlon has established itself as one of the most anticipated triathlons in the country with over 2,000 participants from 46 countries, aged between 25 and 60 years old. The Ironman triathlon is designed to push racers to their limits. Ironman Philippines is bringing its endurance race to historic Lapu-Lapu City in Cebu on April 21, 2024.
The Nissan Tri team also represents the daring spirit of the overall Nissan PH network of nearly 4,000 dealers and employees, showcasing their relentless dedication and truly personifying the “Adventurers for Life” mentality.
“Our Nissan tri team comprises not just employees, dealers, and ambassadors, but passionate individuals showcasing Nissan’s DNA—daring to do what others don’t. We dare to innovate, challenge norms and set goals as One Nissan team to champion what truly fuels our drive for excellence and excitement. This is what the Nissan brand is all about,” said Nissan PH president Juan Manuel Hoyos.
