In connection with the 13th Charter Day and Fiesta 2013 Celebrations of the City of Maasin, the Triathlon sa Maasin was held last Sunday and it was participated in by about forty participants from the different parts of the Visayas.
It was the first triathlon in the city in ten years as the last triathlon was held in 2003. The swimming lap started at the port area to the reclamation area at the back of the city hall.

The third lap was a five kilometer run around the poblacion.
