The event which will be organized at Laguna Lang Co, Vietnam's first and largest world-class integrated resort development, aims to build on the success of its sister event, the legendary Laguna Phuket Triathlon.
The triathlon race will comprise a 1.8 km swim, a 62 km bike ride and a 12 km run. There will also be a duathlon consisting of a 6 km run, a 62 km bike ride and a 12 km run. A 6 km Fun Run rounds up the race programme.
“We are very excited for Laguna Lang Co to host this inaugural triathlon which we hope will put Laguna Lang Co on the global map not only as a world-class integrated resort for all holidaymakers and second home owners but also as an exciting destination for sports and adventure aficionados,” said Ravi Chandran, Managing Director of Laguna Lang Co. “Triathlon devotees are adventurous and constantly in a quest for new challenges, therefore we hope that Laguna Lang Co will be a unique new destination with exciting challenges for the triathletes.”

Roman Floesser, Race Director of the Laguna Phuket Triathlon and his experienced management team have been appointed to organize the event. “When I first visited the location a few months ago I was blown away by its beauty and immediately recognized the potential to host an international triathlon there,” he said. “We will have a fantastic, calm swim, a very scenic one lap bike course with a nice climb in the middle offering stunning views and a two-lap run course mainly around the resort's golf course. I very much look forward to working on this project.”
The race will be open to amateurs, but will also feature a group of professional athletes.
Debbie Dionysius, Event Director of the Laguna Phuket Triathlon, said, “The Laguna Lang Co Triathlon will give many of our regular participants in Phuket a chance to add another event to their racing calendar and experience the renowned Laguna hospitality in Vietnam as well. The two events are six months apart, so that athletes can easily take part in both races.”
Participants of the Laguna Lang Co Triathlon will recognize some familiar features that have given the Laguna Phuket Triathlon its legendary reputation. There will be a five-star pasta party on the eve of the race and a post-race buffet and complimentary massages on the event day immediately after the race followed by an Awards Party in the evening. Calling in the finishers will be the voice of triathlon in Asia, Whit Raymond, who will serve as the race announcer and emcee throughout the race weekend.
