Hundreds of young athletes gathered at Dusit Thani Mactan for the IRONKIDS Lapu-Lapu race, with RLC Residences standing proud as a partner in shaping champions for life.
The final leg of this year’s IRONKIDS Philippines series saw the biggest delegation in its history, with kids from across the country competing in a swim-run challenge that celebrated perseverance, sportsmanship, and community.
Karen Cesario, Senior Director and Marketing Head of RLC Residences, said raising little champions is about giving families the tools and support to guide young athletes. From starting with just eight kids in the Junior Triathlon Team to now having twenty members from Luzon, Cebu, and Davao, the brand aims to help them develop skills, discipline, and confidence.
Three members of the RLC Residences Junior Triathlon Team reached the podium. Amy Takei took 1st place in the 6–8-year-old female category, Johan Benedict Santos won 1st place in the 6–8-year-old male category, and Xavier Benedict Belleza placed 3rd in the same category.
Before the race, RLC Residences hosted its Family Day to promote camaraderie among athletes and their families. Coaches and parents also competed in the IRONMAN 70.3 Lapu-Lapu, proving that passion for the sport has no age limit.

By supporting events like IRONKIDS, RLC Residences continues to invest in communities and inspire the next generation of athletes.
