Description

It's a road run with lots of climb. The route has almost zero flats, maybe just 3%.

From the start (Villanueva Public Market, beside the road sign) It goes all the way up to the Flight 387 Memorial Shrine via route 955, at this point you're in at around 48km with +-1200 MASL, the temps are alot cooler here. The country side scenery starts around 20km, followed by the big mountains of Mt. Balatucan and Mt. Sumagaya. 

After the Shrine you'll have about 2km to shake off your legs before plunging down the hill for 20km of pure fun! Make sure you practice this skill.This is the cherry of your run - just on cuise control mode! 

The locals living nearby the roads are very friendly. flowing water from the spring is readily available just beside the road. It sure is potable cos I have taken alot myself and my stomach didn't complain! :) 

I excluded some photos of the big mountains and the free flowing water, cos i want you to see it personally! ?

Enjoy!
