Nash Lim and Althea Campana won the men’s and women’s gravel divisions of the 120-kilometer race at Gravelton Clark 2026. The race was held on Sunday, October 25, at Filinvest Mimosa Plus Leisure City in Clark, Pampanga. The sports website The Game reported the results on November 5.
This was the fifth season of Gravelton. The race is staged by Gravelton PH, with Specialized Philippines as title partner. The Game reported that the event drew more than 600 participants, including riders from 11 countries.
In a gravel race, riders cover a mix of asphalt, mud and rough rural trails. The Game said the event has grown from a local gathering into what it called the leading gravel race in the country.
Three courses
Riders could choose from three courses. The 120 km course was the long distance, and the 80 km course was the intermediate distance. A 50 km partner ride was added this year. In that format, teams of two riders took on the course together.
The 120 km and 80 km races each had four divisions: men’s gravel, women’s gravel, men’s electric bike and men’s mountain bike.
The results
In the 120 km men’s gravel division, Lim finished ahead of Nathaniel Blanca in second place and Luigi Mamburan in third. In the 120 km women’s gravel division, Campana finished ahead of Shagne Yao and Raji Detera.
The Game gave exact finishing places only for those two divisions. For the others it named the riders on each podium. They are listed below in the order the report gave them.
| Course | Division | Podium riders |
|---|---|---|
| 120 km | Men’s gravel | Nash Lim, Nathaniel Blanca, Luigi Mamburan |
| 120 km | Women’s gravel | Althea Campana, Shagne Yao, Raji Detera |
| 120 km | Men’s mountain bike | Arvin Velasco, Dave Cerilo, Clyde Encarguez |

| 80 km | Men’s mountain bike | Matthew Symon Quinones, Valler Duffield, Sammy Llupar |
In the 120 km men’s electric bike division, The Game named Francis Allan Hugo and Marcel Arsenal as the top finishers. It said the top finishers in all divisions received wearable technology gear as prizes.
CCN Sport, a maker of cycling clothing, reported on October 30 that Lim was the overall champion of the 120 km race and also won the King of the Mountains title. It said Lim had been sick a week before the event and was hit by a car three days before the race, so it was not certain that he would start.
Support from tourism agencies
According to The Game, the race was supported by Clark Development Corporation and by the Philippine Cyclo Tourism initiative of the Tourism Promotions Board. That program was launched in May 2025 to promote the Philippines as a place to ride, and it aims to develop more bike tour routes around the country.
Ritchie Santayana, group category director of Gruppo Innovare Corp. and Specialized Philippines, thanked the riders, partners and community that support the race. He said the organizers set out to create a home for gravel riders.
