Dubbed as one of the toughest adventure races of the Philippines, the competition is a
24-hour extreme challenge for up to 35 participating teams. It will start from
the beach lines of Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur, as participants navigate
themselves through the town’s tough trails and raging rivers, scale the boulder
face of Mt. Apo, and culminate in the skyline of the
country’s highest mountain.
For four consecutive years, the conduct of the Mt. Apo Boulder Face Challenge has made the Davao Region the leading destination for eco-adventure tourism. It will be running on its fifth year as a local competition, and second year as an international race.
