More than just a competition, RLC Residences IRONKIDS Davao is also a celebration of young talent, determination, and sportsmanship. Held on the picturesque coast of Davao, the event brought together almost 300 young athletes ages 6 to 14 years old, all eager to test their mettle in a series of run-bike-run challenges. For many participants, IRONKIDS is their first taste of competitive sports, making it a critical stepping stone in their athletic journey. “Witnessing the children’s perseverance and sportsmanship at an early age are two of the many things we love about IRONKIDS. We are grateful to have this opportunity because it inspires us to continuously support young athletes like them in their quest to become great in their chosen sport,” shares RLC Residences Marketing Head and Chief Integration Officer Karen Cesario. Prior to the day of the event, RLC Residences hosted a special family affair with the kids and their parents in attendance including the brand’s IRONKIDS team who happily participated in the different activities. Cesario also shared that one of the kids is currently preparing to try out for the upcoming SEA Games for his age group. “When we learn about stories like these, it makes us more motivated to extend whatever support we can give these kids. We wish to help them achieve these goals and sincerely hope that they qualify. But overall, what we really aim for is to be with them as they start this journey and help them win in life,” says Cesario.
