AMIHAN 50 Trail Ultra

Amihan brings back the patented feel-good ultra to the trail playground with the fresh scent of pine forest and the cool December Amihan breeze of Baguio City. It’s going to be a fun and challenging race as the runners get to take on the high altitude mountain-terrain of Baguio and Itogon while enjoying the sights and attraction of the Cordillera Mountain Range.

AMIHAN 50 Trail Ultra

Amihan Sports Gear in collaboration with Pinoy Trails, Active Pinas  and Team Malaya brings back Amihan 50 on the 2nd day of December. Amihan 50 is now on its second year!
