SC 70 first S12 Championship Qualifier in Philippines

SC 70 will be the first of six ATM Championship Qualifiers in the Philippines in Season 12 this coming 21/22 November weekend. The 70km race, managed Team Jegol, has been on our Grandmaster Quest calendar already for two years, but will now also be on the Championship calendar for the very first time. It’s a tough 70km race with an estimated elevation gain of 4400 hm.

Following the regulations of the ATM Championship, runners finishing in the Top 25 of the 70km race score points according to our fixed points table, and this may lead to potential qualification for the Championship Final at the end of every season.

SC stands for Santa Cruz, host town of the event, very close to Davao City in Mindanao. The trail course features several scenic spots in Sta. Cruz, including Dinor peak passing through Pilan river, Loay peak, Camp 796, and Mt. Fortune. This year’s course will be largely the same as before. A few changes will be made nonetheless and will be confirmed in due course. Note that Mount Apo is not part of this race. Incidentally, the Mount Apo Sky Race will be held the week before SC 70 this year, and features on the Grandmaster Quest calendar. Runners coming from further away could therefore consider doing both events and spend a week in the area.
