Hingyon Trails

Hingyon trails in Ifugao run across steep upland terrain, where village footpaths cut through rice-terrace slopes and wooded sections before opening onto ridgelines. The area’s high elevation translates into long climbs, hard descents, and the sort of uneven footing that suits ultra-distance trail running.

In March 2025, Hingyon's trail network served as the venue for the Gotad Festival Ultra Marathon, with the race marketed around routes that highlight local hills, rice terraces, and mountain trails. The successful event proved to organizers that the trails can handle a serious endurance field and the logistics that come with it.
