CALATAGAN TRAIL RUN presented by Ahon
This is the 2nd edition of the Calatagan Trail Run.
“The word "Calatagan" is taken from the Tagalog word "latag" and is closely associated with "kapatagan", which means a vast portion of flat land lying between the hills and mountains. Thus, Calatagan means a large expanse of wide flat land.”
Calatagan
is also known for its beautiful coastal beaches. The little known hills are located
at North-east portion of the town and the highest point is called Mount Masawa
or Pinagbanderahan. The start and finish line will take place at Urban Breeze
Beach in Barangay Hukay.
We
also advise participants to take a camera for the challenge and enjoy the view
as they run. This sea to summit and road to trail run challenge are ideal for
beginners and seasoned trail runners. Pure bliss, guarantee!
This
is a qualifying race for 2024 KING OF THE MOUNTAIN Trail Run, Clark-Miyamit 60km and PHILTRA-recognized race.
