Cordillera Mountain Ultra 2026 takes place on 13 December 2026 in Banao, Bokod, Benguet. The trail-running event forms part of the inaugural Philippine Mountain Games, a weekend bringing together mountain running and off-road cycling in the Cordillera region.

The 50K is the event’s main ultramarathon distance, while the 21K offers a shorter mountain-running challenge. The 5K and 10K provide more accessible options for runners looking to experience trail racing in Benguet.
The event is organised alongside the Cordillera Challenge, an off-road mountain bike race taking place on 12 December. Athletes looking for an additional challenge can enter the Cordillera Crown, which combines the 50K Mountain Ultra with the Epic distance of the Cordillera Challenge.
Participants should review the official registration page before race weekend for the latest information on routes, mandatory equipment, gun start times, cut-off times, race kit collection and other trail-running requirements.
