King of the Mountain Trail Run (KOTM) is also the main event when it comes to the Philippine trail running scene.  If Chamonix has its UTMB, the Philippines has KOTM and its a 4oo kilometer adventure from Mount Ugo Marathon up until Harcore Hundred Miles. 

KOTM

KOTM is a journey towards your trail legacy.  It’s a building block to the major races as its a qualifier for UTMB, Hardrock Endurance Run and Western States Endurance Run.  It’s the King of the Philippine Trail Ultra races and a lot of the big names, both local and foreign have included the course in their race calendar.  Apart from being a qualifier, it also boast of a very scenic Kayapa and Cordillera Mountain Range including both Mount Ugo and Mount Pulag.

The kick off event is Mount Ugo Marathon happening on January 21, 2018 with 25K and 42K distance.  This would be followed by a 50-kilometer Old Spanish Trail and 100-Kilometer Four Lakes on February 17, 2018.  Pulag 100 makes its debut as a solo event on April 6, 2018.
