Makiling Challenge, a competitive twelve-kilometer and five-kilometer race, aims to promote running as the most affordable and effective avenue for physical fitness and total well-being. This event further aims to create a nature-oriented venue for physical activities as such.

The Makiling Campus Runners has been bringing runners closer to nature by letting them conquer the mountain. This year, the slope wouldn’t be easy to trek as runners face a rougher and tougher road.

The route is farther. The slopes are higher. The road is rougher. And the fight is surely going to be tougher.
