Bike Challenge Series

Baguio City is nestled almost 1500 meters above sea level. This is the reason why it is usually taunted as the killer lap in most national road bike races since biking towards the city would always mean several kilometers of unforgiving climbs.

Hari ng Ahon bike challenge series is a bicycle sporting event organized by All Out Multisport in partnership with the local government unit of Baguio City.

The highly anticipated event is set to take place as a thrilling five-leg bike race, covering various routes leading to the breathtaking city of Baguio from its neighboring towns. The first leg of this exhilarating series will kick off along the iconic Kennon Road, followed by equally exciting stages along Ambuklao Road, Naguilian Road and Asin Road. The climax of the competition awaits in the form of a challenging Criterium and Team Time Trial for the fourth and final stage.
