In a statement, 2GO, which is part of the SM Group, said that it recently provided logistics support to the first IRONMAN triathlon event of the year by facilitating the transfer of large-ticket paraphernalia for the Davao leg. Bikes, race equipment, race bibs, singlets, merchandise and exhibition materials were shipped from Manila on 2GO vessels for the races and events on March 23-26, 2023.
“The IRONMAN events require us to work with a logistics and transport partner that offers integrated solutions, is reliable and capable of scaling with our needs,” said Princess Galura, President and General Manager of the Philippines’ official IRONMAN partner Sunrise Events. “We move a variety of equipment, for the mounting of the races and the surrounding events, as well as those needed by our athletes.

With 2GO’s range of assets, Galura said the group’s capability to operate in a wide network within the Philippines provides fast logistical solutions that are safe, secure, and dependable for any cargo transport by land, air, and sea.
