Impasugong Ridge Ultra a new ATM Candidate

We are happy to announce that the 3rd edition of Impasugong Ridge Ultra in Bukidnon has received the ATM Candidate Race label for the event on 28 September 2025. Organised by Trillchaser Sports Promotion Services and directed by experienced trail runner Juliet Chavez, Impasugong offers a challenging and scenic 55km race near Cagayan de Oro on the western side of Mindanao island in Philippines.

The event is even more testimony of the boom of trail running in Mindanao and particularly Bukidnon since the end of the corona crisis. Impasugong Ridge Ultra aims to provide for runners of all levels. The 55km is the flagship race, but there’s also a 30k and a 15k for the less ambitious. Participants on the 55 will need to conquer no less than 2600 hm of elevation gain: not nothing. For competitive runners, the last 10k are downhill and flattish to the finish, so one better keep some juice in the legs.

Registration is open and goes via the established platform RaceTech in Philippines. For more details on the event, you can consult the facebook page, also linked below. To reach the event, you need to fly into Cagayan de Oro. The airport is actually closer to the event site than CDO City.
