Now in its sixteenth year, the Laguna Phuket Triathlon 2009 promises to be bigger and better than ever with 950 individuals and 50 teams participating, amounting to a field size of over 1,000. This year’s sold out event, with a prize purse of US$20,000, has support from Thai Airways International and the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
Laguna Phuket also welcomes the sponsorship of a diverse spectrum of brands to the event: Arena has become an official supplier, and new media partner Tri 247.com has enlisted its support. Timex has come on board for the second year as an official supplier with Bangkok Phuket Hospital, Coca-Cola, The Bike Boutique, and Singha. Action Asia magazine and The Phuket Gazette are also lending their support to the triathlon as media partners.
