It started off in the historic Shuiting Gate which was right in the heart of the city centre. The swim event was at the Qu River, which was just at the west side of Shuiting Gate while the bike and run route were along the Qu River.

Tri-Factor is organised by Orange Room Co.

Already, nearly 70 Triathlon competitions have been in six different countries including Singapore, the Philippines and Thailand, with more than 90,000 participants.

The Quzhou TF Triathlon 2018 Race was the start of Tri-Factors presence in China with a long-term partnership with the state of Quzhou being in the centre of triathlon in the country.

Co-founder of Orange Room, Elvin Ting, had this to say:

Orange Room hopes to help Quzhou develop the sports + tourism industry through its rich experience in sports events, professional teams and international resources, and bring a healthier lifestyle to the people of Quzhou through competitions and build a relationship between domestic and international athletes. We aim to set up a more participatory sports community. We are very honored to be able to participate in the implementation of the national fitness strategy plan.

With this, TF Triathlon Quzhou 2018 hopes to not only spread the awareness on the sports of triathlon within the Zhejiang Province in preparation for the 2022 Asian Games but also promote Quzhou as a sports & tourism destination and a sporting hub for triathlons in China.
