Entries have opened for the Aviva Ironman 70.3 Team category featuring the Aviva Media Team Challenge.

The race will be based (once again!) at the unique Playground@BigSplash at Singapore's East Coast on Sunday, March 22nd and the team entry has capacity for 100 teams.

Team participants can enter online at www.ironman703singapore.com.

All Teams will compete as a relay team; that's one competitor for the swim, another for the bike and one more for the run.

There's also entry available to two person teams, where one person can compete over two legs of the awesome Ironman 70.3 course.

There's team categories for male, female and mixed gender teams in both standard and Corporate Team divisions.

The Aviva Ironman 70.3 triathlon will be based solely at Playground @ BigSplash, with Race Packet PickUp (Registration), and amazing Expo and the pre and post event functions all based here.

The unique two-lap, two-lane 1.9km swim will be swim immediately in front of the Playground, the three -lap 90km bike leg will span the island via freeways and main roads and the threelap 21km run will use the shaded pathways of the East Coast before finishing at the gala Aviva Finish line at Playgfround @ Big Splash.

"This is the third year Aviva has sponsored this event and I'm looking forward to even more teams taking part in this edition," Says Nick Munting, Registration Director for the Aviva Ironman 70.3. " The Aviva Media Team Challenge and the new Corporate Team Challenge represent's a unique perspective of competititon and it's a great way to ease into the Ironman family at this distance. And of course apart from those who don't want to take on the whole 70.3 miles (hence the name) racing solo, team relay racing represents a great challenge for corporate teams to challenge one another in serious competition!"

The Aviva Ironman 70.3 will be conducted on Sunday March 22nd 2009.
