Mt.Apo Challenge 2012

The Department of Tourism Region 11 and the municipality of Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur, has launched the 2nd International Mount Apo Boulder Face Challenge, slated for April 28-29, 2012 in Sta. Cruz. "The Mt. Apo Boulder Face Challenge is one of the toughest adventure races in the Philippines," said DOT Region 11 Director Arturo Boncato Jr. "It's a 24-hour extreme challenge using various disciplines such as mountain biking, trekking, water tubing and road running. The race starts from the Sta. Cruz beach lines and participants will navigate through the town's tough trails and raging rivers, scale the boulder face of Mt. Apo, and culminate in the skyline of the country's highest mountain." Rising 10,000 feet, Mount Apo tops out with the highest point in the Philippines. Close to 1,000 mountaineers climbed the still active volcano in 2011 from the Sta. Cruz trail. (Photo courtesy DOT/Rhonson Ng)
