Thanyapura Phuket has announced a series of blue ribbon events for the second half of 2015, beginning with the TRI Super Camp in August, and finishing in December with a fun-filled colour fun run that will see runners get doused in coloured powder.
Mr Philipp Graf von Hardenberg, Thanyapura President and Chief Executive Officer, said the sporting events showcased a trifecta of Thanyapura’s core strengths – triathlon, swimming and running – as well as its cutting-edge facilities and world-class coaches, which have attracted scores of professional and amateur athletes.
“We’ve got some really exciting events coming up that illustrate what Thanyapura is about, namely improving performance and health through the best coaches and training facilities, the optimum diet, a focus on harnessing the power of the mind to elicit better performance from the body, and using all the considerable resources at our disposal to ensure everyone at Thanyapura can make real strides towards optimising their potential,” he said.
“We’re delighted to be able to give Thai and international athletes a state-of-the-art outlet to achieve that through our ongoing presence and these superb events.”
First up on the exciting and busy schedule is the TRI Super Camp, which runs from 22-30 August. The camp gives athletes the opportunity to live, breathe and sleep triathlon, and is centred on an intense training focus.
Later in the year, the Thanyapura SUPERKIDZ Aquathlon and Anyman Aquathlon 2015 will kick off the school year with a range of race distances and formats for all ages and fitness levels. The fun-filled event will be staged on 5 September.
On 24 October fitness enthusiasts are invited to get adventurous and trek or run through the jungle in the 8km Thanyapura King of the Mountain Run. This unique, fun 8km endurance trail runs through jungle trails and over streams.
The inaugural Rocket Science Sports Super Sprint Swim Meet, which focuses on getting children to develop their swimming, will run from 30 October till 1 November in cooperation with Rocket Science Sports. The event aims to help children to focus on starts, turns and quick-skill development. It is open for all clubs in the Asia Pacific region.
Just two weeks later, hundreds of riders will cycle through lush jungles, around scenic roads and along exotic coastlines in 40km and 90km races, in the Phuket Classic Cycling Race on 14 November.
While the adults enjoy the tough terrain of the cycling race, the children will be able to get out and about in the Thanyapura Junior Challenge Triathlon 2015 on 28 November. The event will deliver an exciting race atmosphere at a world-class venue for six to 18-year-olds. Junior: 50m swim, 3km bike, 500m run; intermediate: 150m swim, 6km bike, 1,500m run; senior: 300m swim, 12km bike, 3,000m run.
Ending the year on a high note, Thanyapura is looking forward to the Colour Fun Run for the King on 12 December. The event, which is dedicated to His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the Father of the Thai Nation, combines sports, family fun, food and entertainment for families with children.
