In a remarkable display of athleticism and community engagement, RLC Residences, the residential arm of Robinsons Land, took part in the IRONMAN 70.3 race held on November 12 in the breathtaking city of Puerto Princesa, Palawan. The event not only showcased the brand’s commitment to an active lifestyle but also underscored their dedication to supporting and taking part in activities that bring people together through the participation of its very own RLC Residences Triathlon Team in individual and team relay categories.
“This has been our second year joining IRONMAN both as a partner and a participant. What we love about being part of this renowned sporting event is its very supportive community that encourages a lot of individuals from different age groups to always be best versions of themselves. It’s the same ethos that we have when we design our projects - we incorporate amenities and features that can help our homeowners live their best and offer a community that supports our residents’ well-being” says Karen Cesario, RLC Residences Marketing Head and Chief Integration Officer.
As sponsor of IRONMAN, RLC Residences and its mascot Bob the Bear welcomed hundreds of participants and their loved ones to their booth with exciting gifts and activities. Bob is also present during the IRONKIDS race, where he cheered on the young athletes and congratulated them after the race.
