Known for for attracting star triathletes such as Mark Allen and Michelle Jones in the past, this year's Laguna Phuket Triathlon will consist of a 1.8km swim, 55km bike and 12km run through Phuket's picturesque tropical scenery.

Participants will start the race between the Dusit Thani Phuket and Outrigger Laguna Beach Resort before swimming in two bodies of water, biking over a challenging yet beautiful hilly path through the well-known Naithorn Hills and running on a flat road through the Laguna Phuket resort.

There will also be a 6km fun run for those who aren't keen to swim or cycle. Don't feel like racing alone? You can also gather a team of three and register for the team relay.

All events will take place Nov 22 and registration fees range from B600-6,000. For more information or registration, visit http://goo.gl/7tvVKe.
