Overview

Unleashing the Spirit: Hardcore Trail Ultra Marathon

Welcome to the world of Hardcore trail ultra marathon, where the spirit of endurance and the beauty of nature intertwine in a symphony of passion and perseverance. Prepare to embark on a journey unlike any other, as you test your limits and push yourself to new heights.

Hardcore 100 Miles (H1) is not just another race; it is a gateway to the prestigious Hard Rock 100 and Western States Endurance Run in the United States. As the first 100-mile trail race in the Philippines, it stands tall among an exclusive club of global races that boast a staggering total elevation gain of over 10,000 meters.

Immerse yourself in the untamed wilderness as you navigate through a trail course meticulously designed to meet international standards. With less than 10% of the route comprising concrete roads, every step is a dance upon the earth’s natural canvas. Single track trails, dirt and gravel paths, stream and river crossings, grasslands, farmlands, forest trails, and even hanging bridges await your eager feet.

Feel the rush as you conquer majestic peaks. Along the way, you will traverse rolling hills and discover hidden hamlets that whisper tales of resilience and triumph.

For those who yearn to taste the magic of the Hardcore 100 Miles but prefer a shorter challenge, fear not. There are two equally formidable categories: the 50-mile race (Hardcore 50 Miles) and the 50-kilometer race (Hardcore 50 K). These categories offer a glimpse into the world of the 100-mile race, allowing you to experience its essence without the full distance.

In the realm of Hardcore, every step is a testament to the indomitable human spirit. It is a celebration of strength, determination, and the unbreakable bond between runner and nature. Are you ready to embark on an adventure that will forever change the course of your existence?

Join us, brave souls, as we embark on an odyssey of the heart, mind, and body. Let the Hardcore trail ultra marathon be your canvas, where your spirit soars, and your dreams come alive. Lace up your shoes, ignite your passion, and let the journey begin.
