MT. KALISUNGAN TRAIL RUN 2024

Mt. Kalisungan is a mountain situated in the town of Calauan, Laguna that stands at 630 MASL. From the flatlands of Brgy. Lamot, the trail quickly ascends to a covered path of forest trees and bushes leading to the top. Its grassland summit offers spectacular views of peaks and bodies of water from surrounding towns and provinces. Included are the Banahaw Trilogy: Mt. Cristobal, Mt. Banahaw, Mt. Banahaw de Lucban, and the seven lakes of San Pablo on the south. Views of Laguna de Bay, and the quaint island of Talim cover the northern side. On the west is a view of Mt. Makiling and the Malarayat Mountain Range. And to the east is Mt. Atimla. 

Historically, Mt. Kalisungan played a significant role in World War II as it served as the last stand for retreating Japanese soldiers in the province of Laguna. After some time, the locals erected a cross on the summit which devout Catholics have then visited during Holy Week as one of the stations of the cross. 

Kalisungan Trail Run is an eco-friendly activity that can showcase the beauty and history of the mountain to its participants. With beginner-friendly distances of 10km and 16km, seasoned and new trail runners will experience adventure-pack running bliss.
