CALATAGAN TRAIL RUN 2024

CALATAGAN TRAIL RUN 2024

This is the 3rd 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 found at Brgy Luya - called "Doraemon".

The start and finish line will take place 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!
