Tanay has blossomed into the “Home of Adventure and Nature Experience” (HANE) with numerous mountains peaks, cooler weather and a lot of outdoor activities. Let’s celebrate that in HANE Mountain Trail Festival on October 19, 2025 at Madilay-dilay, Tanay, Rizal.

HANE Mountain Trail Festival

Tanay stands out as one of the most gifted towns in terms of tourism, adventure, and natural beauty. Nestled along a portion of the Sierra Madre mountain range, it has become a renowned destination for mountain hikes and trail running events. This October 19, 2025, the HANE Mountain Festival returns to captivate trail runners with another breathtaking experience.

The race begins in Barangay Madilay-dilay, Tanay, and leads participants on an ascent to the summit of Mount Kalbaryo. Rising 608 meters above sea level, Mount Kalbaryo offers a majestic panorama of Daraitan and the Tinapak River. The undulating trail poses a thrilling challenge, but the reward lies in the stunning summit views and the enchanting, moss-covered forest trail — making the journey truly unforgettable.

Now on its second year, HANE brings in more distance to conquer with a marathon (42K), half-marathon (21K), 12K and a kids race.
