The Aboitiz Group renewed its support for Ironman 70.3, a premier international endurance sporting event accomplished with the city government and other sponsors, in Davao City.
Covering a total of 70.3 miles of swimming, cycling, and running, the Ironman 70.3 will be held on March 22, 2026, and is the city’s fifth time to host. The prepared route for triathletes will traverse the iconic Davao City Coastal Road and offer the majestic view of Mount Apo.
A ceremonial signing held last month was joined by Eduardo Aboitiz, Vice President of Aboitiz Equity Ventures’ Synergy Office and President of Apo Agua Infrastructura, Inc., a subsidiary of Aboitiz InfraCapital, Inc. Jokin Aboitiz, First Vice President of Business Development and Corporate Services of AboitizPower Distribution Utilities, was present to witness the signing.
Since 2018, the Aboitiz Group has sponsored Ironman as part of its long-term partnership with Davao City.
“We are proud to support multiple initiatives and events across the city, and we commend Davao’s forward-looking efforts to promote a healthy and active lifestyle for all,” Eduardo Aboitiz said.
“We hope to meet the triathletes with a warm Dabawenyo hospitality and foster camaraderie during our city’s chartered anniversary,” added Davao City Administrator Atty. Francis Layog.
The Aboitiz Group has a presence in Davao City through its bulk water supply project under Apo Agua, through power distribution company Davao Light and Power Co., and through power generation companies Therma South, Inc. and Hedcor, Inc.
The Group supports the city through electric power and water treatment, as well as through various corporate social responsibility initiatives.
