On Sunday, November 19, 2023, the 29th edition of the Laguna Phuket Triathlon (LPT), also referred to as "The Race of Legends," will be held in Laguna Phuket, the pinnacle of Asian travel. This renowned event, which encompasses a 12K run, a 55K bike ride, and a 1.8K swim, guarantees to enthral both athletes and enthusiasts as it meanders through the picturesque Laguna Phuket resort and the northern communities of Phuket Island.
Anticipatory developments have been disclosed in anticipation of the 29th edition, guaranteeing an indelible experience for every participant.
In an effort to eliminate the divide between amateurs and professionals, the LPT has implemented cash incentives for athletes, Thai and non-Thai alike, who aspire to compete at the professional level. In lieu of the age group category, participants must select the "Elite Category" during registration in order to be admitted to this elite league.
This year's LPT commences on November 18 at 7:00 am with an Open Water Practise Swim, sponsored by TriHub, which adds to the excitement. Beforehand, on November 17, attendees have the opportunity to participate in the Cycosports Bike Practise Session and Clinic. Following the race, attendees are treated to a revitalising yoga session, a delectable brunch at Open Kitchen, and an exhilarating four-man Muay Thai boxing tournament. The 18th and 25th of November mark the height of enthusiasm with the Lifestyle Night Market in the heart of Laguna Phuket.
Throughout its 28-year duration, the LPT has garnered acclaim as the most enduring and prosperous triathlon event in Southeast Asia. It was recognised by 220 Triathlon Magazine (UK) as one of The World's Greatest Tri Swims in 2020 and positioned fifth by Let's Do This (UK) on its list of the 10 Best Triathlons in the World. Prominent athletes such as Jan Frodeno, Amelia Watkinson, Charlie Quinn, and Michael Raelert have all been enthralled by the event's picturesque surroundings, crisp atmosphere, and ample natural splendour.
Due to the restricted number of available slots, race enthusiasts are strongly encouraged to reserve their positions in their preferred category as soon as possible. Duathlon, Sprint Triathlon, and Full Individual and Team Triathlons are available as race options. A special rate is available for reservations at any of the seven hotels comprising the Laguna Phuket group; by inputting the code 'LTP2023' at the time of making reservations, guests can augment their experience.
This year, the #LPTisYOU campaign will commemorate the spirit of each participant by emphasising the commitment and enthusiasm of all athletes who take part. Tag @LagunaPhuketTriathlon and share your training journey on social media with the hashtag #LPTisYOU to be considered for inclusion in the Legends video for 2023.
