RACE DETAILS
REGISTRATION
FINISHER SHIRTS
Participants from outside Mindanao, like Cebu and Manila, you can book your flight direct to Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao City.
Upon your arrival, you can ride a metered taxi (just outside the airport) going to Ecoland Terminal then take a bus (Wenna Bus) going to Kidapawan City, Cotabato. Then from Kidapawan, you can take a (multi)cab or single motor to Magpet or direct to Tagbac (venue), its only 14km away.
The transportation expense for this is only P700 back & forth including taxi but if you take a bus/jeep outside the airport (along the highway) going to Ecoland you will only spend P500.
Other means of transportation from Davao airport is to hire a van and pick you up if you are band of brothers coming to the race.
