TRAIN FOR Hardcore Ultra Trail 2027 WITH WAYME Event: Apr 30, 2027 - May 3, 2027 The Hardcore Ultra Trail (HUT) is a mountain-trail ultramarathon in Kayapa, Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines, headlined by Hardcore 100 Miles (H1), the country’s first 100-mile trail race, first held in 2013. Three ITRA- and UTMB Index-rated distances start and finish at Kayapa Central School: Hardcore 100 Miles (164.85 km), Hardcore 50 Miles (73.6 km), and Hardcore 60K (62.29 km). H1 is the second-oldest 100-mile trail race in Asia and ranks among the world’s oldest 100-milers. The course features over 9,500 m of ascent and descent, with less than 10% on concrete. Runners can expect single-track, dirt and gravel paths, stream and river crossings, grasslands, farmland, forest trails, and hanging bridges as the route winds through the Cordillera highlands and remote mountain communities. For those seeking a shorter challenge, the 50-mile and 60K distances share the same rugged terrain and start line as H1, offering a taste of the 100-mile experience over a shorter distance. All categories are ITRA-rated and carry UTMB Index points.
