Celinda Raagas and Darell Bada set out against a pack of bidders all primed for battle of power and speed as the youngsters take the spotlight ahead of the elite of endurance racing in the IRONKIDS Triathlon reeling off today in Subic Bay.

Raagas topped the 13-15 division of the last tri-race event at Vermosa Sports Hub in Imus, Cavite last October while fellow Olongapo native Bada placed second to absentee Peter del Rosario in their side of the duel in the premier division of the event that drew a cast of 178 from various age-group divisions.

The 13-15 age titles will be disputed over 250-meter swim, 6-kilometer bike and 2-km run distance with participants already winners in more ways than just emerging victorious from the event ushering in a weekend of racing to be highlighted by the Century Tuna full IRONMAN and Subic IRONMAN 70.3 on Sunday.

But Raagas expects to face a stern test against the likes of Jaden Khongkun, Clarissa Saludes, Zabelle Eugenio, Princess Ilio, Thara Salazar, Jayda Gumaya, Chantelle Coleman, Chelsea Borja and Kyrene Benzon, while Bada will have his hands full against Red Reyes, Jacob Catambay, Sean Julian, Edcarl Moreno, Chadwick Baday and Nathan Ramos, among others.

Meanwhile, the 6-8 years old bracket will clash over the 100-m swim, 2-km bike and 1-km run distance, while the 9-10 crowns will be contested over the 150-m swim, 4-km bike and 1.5-km run stretch.

The 11-12 division is set over the 200-m, 4-km bike and 1.5-km span with Evan Ramos from Antipolo, Rizal and Noah Maliwat from Pasig City and Dominique Aragones and Sara Santiago headlining the rosters in the two sides.

Also on tap are two events in the relay category. It features the mixed team for 6-10 made up of the 100-m swim, 2-km bike and 1-km run race, and for 11-15 bracket set over 200-m swim, 4-km bike and 1.5-km run distance.

The chase for top honors in the 13-15 age group category fires off at 6 a.m. in a wave start with hostilities in the 11-12 class and 11-15 relay category to follow at 6:30 a.m.

The 9-10 age-group take their turn at 7 a.m. followed by the 6-8 division and the 6-10 relay category at 7:25 a.m. at Subic Bay Boardwalk.

Meanwhile, the next IRONKIDS in Puerto Princesa, Palawan on 11 November will be held under two-category race format — swim and run —  featuring the 6-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-15 age brackets.
