Welcome to the Hardcore trail ultra marathon, a test of endurance set against the breathtaking backdrop of nature. The Hardcore 100 Miles (H1) stands out as the first 100-mile trail race in the Philippines, boasting an impressive elevation gain of over 10,000 meters and serving as a qualifier for the prestigious Hard Rock 100 and Western States Endurance Run. This challenging course features primarily natural terrain, with less than 10% consisting of concrete, inviting runners to navigate single track trails, dirt paths, river crossings, grasslands, and lush forests. As you conquer rolling hills and soar to magnificent peaks, you’ll encounter hidden villages that carry stories of resilience. The Hardcore experience is not just a race; it is a profound journey celebrating the unbreakable connection between runner and the wild. Prepare yourself for an odyssey that promises to transform your spirit and invigorate your passion for adventure. Are you ready to embrace the challenge and let the Hardcore trail ultra marathon redefine your limits?
