HELP US SUPPORT THE PHILIPPINE TRAIL RUNNING TEAM

The pioneer PHILTRA National Team was formed in March 2023.  Our national team debuted impressively at the 2023 World Mountain & Trail Running Championships, ranking 12th globally and first in Asia (READ STORY HERE). At the SEA Trail Running Cup in June 2024, our athletes emerged as the overall Team Champion for Long Trail (Male), Short Trail (Male and Female) and Mountain Classic (U20).  We brought home 5 out of 8 gold medals and a total of 16 medal tally ranking us on top of Southeast Asian countries.

We're dedicated to improving our global and regional standings, supporting athletes, and excelling in international competitions through training, local events, and continued support. A strong campaign on inclusion of the sports in Brisbane 2032 is happening and when it happens, Philippines will battle for gold.  The race starts now but sustainable funding is needed.
