ANTIQUE TO HOST THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL TRAIL RUNNING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Top PH Team Athletes, 30 Qualified Elites, and Asia-Pacific Invitees Set to Converge

Antique is set to take center stage as it proudly hosts the Philippine National Trail Running Championships, bringing together the country’s strongest trail runners, members of the Philippine National Team, and over 30+/- other qualified elite athletes from across the nation.

This landmark event carries special significance for the local community, as several of the Philippines’ top trail athletes hail from Antique. Their homecoming to compete on local terrain is expected to inspire the next generation of young athletes, showcasing what dedication, passion, and community support can achieve.

With the wide reach of our national athletes and the continued growth of the Philippine Trail Running Association (PHILTRA) on the global stage, the championships will shine a spotlight on Antique as a premier trail running destination. The event is anticipated to generate significant international attention as invited elite runners from across the Asia-Pacific region make their way to Antique to take on the challenging course and compete alongside Filipino athletes. Additional excitement is expected from the Open Category, where runners of various levels will join the action and experience world-class trail racing in the province.

“This is an opportunity not only to celebrate high-level competition but to empower local communities and inspire future champions,” organizers said. “Antique offers world-class terrain, and showcasing it through the National Championships places the province firmly on the global trail running map.”

The Open Category will serve as a World Mountain Running Cup (WMRC) affiliate race and a National Championship Qualifier, further elevating the event’s status. Alongside this, the race is sanctioned as an International Trail Running Association (ITRA) performance points event, enabling participants to earn points recognized worldwide.

PHILTRA, the national governing body for trail running in the Philippines, is an affiliate member of the Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association (PATAFA). It is also the recognized national sports association of both the International Trail Running Association (ITRA) and the World Mountain Running Association (WMRA).

The Philippine National Trail Running Championships promises a dynamic, competitive, and community-driven celebration of the sport—one that highlights the strength of Filipino athletes and the natural beauty of Antique.

Hangaway Ultra Trail 2025

We are deeply grateful for the success of the 3rd edition of the Hangaway Trail Ultra.

Though the event has been running for five years, this is only the third time we’ve been able to offer the challenging 50km distance.

After a five-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Hangaway Trail Ultra finally made its comeback. It wasn’t easy—originally set for May, we had to move the race to August. We also faced challenges in participant turnout. But none of that stopped us from focusing on our WHY—to bring an authentic ultra trail running experience to Antique, a province blessed with breathtaking mountains.

Our vision is not only to discover and nurture local talents who have the natural strength to conquer mountains, but also to provide livelihood opportunities for our host communities through small businesses and tourism. This is what fuels our will to keep going.

We are especially thankful for the invaluable support of the LGUs of Sibalom and Hamtic in ensuring the safety and security of all our runners:

* 14 PNP personnel
* 29 Municipal Health Unit personnel
* 17 MDRRMO members from both municipalities
* 22 Kabalikat Civicom members coordinating and communicating on the ground
* More than 30 barangay tanods from all communities along the route—Egaña, Buhang, Inabasan (Sibalom), Tig-ohot, Calog, Initan, Igcococ, Tabong-tabong, and Miaktun
* 5 sweepers, 4 trail markers, 3 motorcycle support riders
* More or less 30 dedicated volunteers, plus the very dedicated Organizing Team

In total, over 150 personnel worked hand-in-hand to secure and safeguard 23 runners—it’s a commitment to provide every possible need of our runners, no matter their number. We could never have kept this race safe and smooth without their unwavering support. Our hearts are full.

And to all our runners—thank you for appreciating our hard work. After such a long break, we’re still finding our rhythm, so some of the usual shortcomings were inevitable. But with your encouragement and with our LGU’s promise of even stronger support next year, we are confident that we can make this race something the whole country—and perhaps even the whole world—can be proud of.

Let’s be bold. Be proud. Be a Hangaway.

COME PREPARED!

THANK YOU & see you on the trails!!!
