IBTOR Challenge is a triathlon match with a local twist of the three sports disciplines: swimming, cycling, and running. It kicks off at the Acop Dam and loops around our Eco-Tourism Area, passes at the heart of the municipality and culminates at the SM City Rosales. Be the Iron Man of Luzon. Be the Sangka-IBTORAN!
The IBTOR Challenge was adapted from the word “IBTOR” which is an Ilocano word that connotes endurance and strength. It is also an acronym that stands for Inter-Barangay Triathlon Of Rosales.
The uniqueness of the event is that the resources and culture of the Rosalenians are showcased on it. The participants are in paired and they have to finish the race together.
The IBTOR Challenge is comprise of the following:
• SWIMMING – the pair of swimmers has to carry with them a banana log in crossing the Acop Dam with the distance of 350m. It is necessary for them to surrender the banana log in order for them to qualify for the second leg which is running.
• RUNNING – subsequently the participants will have to run the 9.5km trail of rough and mountainous road.
• CYCLING – for the third leg of the match, the cycling stage exposes the Rosalenian culture. Pedicabs are being utilized instead of the commonly used mountain bikes to negotiate the distance of 15km. The participants (in pairs) must take turns in steering the pedicab.
• RUNNING – in the last leg of the event, the participants will have to run the 10km distance to be able to finish the race. The participants will be tied by a rope on each opposite hand in order for them to reach the finish line together.
