Since 2010, the Cordillera Challenge has welcomed hundreds of mountain bike enthusiasts to discover the stunning and untouched landscapes of the Cordilleras. This event is not just a race; it’s a classic Philippine mountain biking adventure that has stood the test of time!

This year, we’re merging this beloved event with the Cordillera Mountain Ultra, inviting all riders back into the great outdoors of the beautiful Cordillera mountains. The course promises a diverse mix of trails including single tracks, fire roads, village paths, gravel, and paved sections.

Participants can expect the following:

• EPIC: A challenging course with approximately 2000m of elevation gain and loss 🌄
• Mini EPIC: An easier but still challenging route with 1000m of elevation change

Cut-off time for all courses is 12 hours. Riders must be self-sufficient, bringing along spare tires and tools. For E-MTB riders tackling the EPIC distance, remember to carry a spare battery due to the demanding elevation.

Complete details, including GPX files and aid stations, will be sent via email to all registered participants 2 weeks before the event. Accommodation should be arranged in Baguio City, located 25kms or about 40 minutes from the race venue.

Let’s make this year’s MTB epic! KEEP IT WILD! 🌿
