Bagtit Ultra: watch the video teaser!

The first Filipino points race event on our 2024 ATM calendar is the Bagtit Ultra event in Matantoc, Tarlac on 11/12 February. It’s the third edition organised by The Pace Republic, and “Bagtit” basically substitutes for Santa Ines Mountain Adventure, which was part of our championship calendar early this year.

The event will feature three challenging categories: the 100km, 50km and 30km races, with 100k and 50k valid for ATM championship points. Additionally, the 100km category of course presents an opportunity to earn a Grandmaster point.

As written on the official website: “Bagtit’ is the Ilocano translation of the word “crazy” and “Ultra”, short for Ultramarathon. Ultra trail runners are often called ‘crazy’ because people thought that running these distances would be impossible to accomplish. What made it crazier is the difficult and technical trails of Mt. Damas and Mt. Sem-ilya.

For more details you can check our previous news announcements or the official website linked below. Registration is open. Further down below is the official video teaser for you to get an idea of the terrain of Bagtit Ultra.
