Philippines’ Bukidnon region remains on the ATM Championship calendar in Season XI with the confirmation of MUSPO 100 on the weekend of 11/12 July. The meanwhile traditional event in Valencia has opened registration (see link below). Focus for ATM is on the 100km only, which is both a Championship qualifier and valid for the Grandmaster Quest.

It is indeed great news to receive that MUSPO 100 is on, following earlier announcements that Mt Kalatungan Ultra and Point Trail Ultra may not take place this year. Bukidnon has been one of the trendiest new trail running destinations since the covid crisis, even with some very competitive runners. Bukidnon is a landlocked province in Northern Mindanao of the Philippines, roughly between Davao and Cagayan de Oro and als connected via highway with these two main cities.

The 100km course is overall quite runable in dry conditions, but can get muddy and slippery in case of prolonged rainfall.

It will be the fifth season in a row that MUSPO offers points for the ATM Championship ranking and the Grandmaster Quest. Last year, the 100k was won by Roberto Cain III and Shally Yuson.
