The spirit of adventure roared to life in Clark, Pampanga, as Gravelton PH staged its most electrifying event yet — Gravelton Clark 2025 — last October 18 to 19 at Filinvest Mimosa Plus Leisure City. Now in its fourth season, the country’s premier gravel race drew hundreds of riders and thrill-seekers to test their mettle across Central Luzon’s rugged landscapes in a weekend of grit, camaraderie, and pure adrenaline.
Fueling the momentum, Ford Philippines joined as the official mobility partner, bringing its tough and trusted Ford Ranger lineup into the heart of the action. Three Ranger trucks served as track and logistics vehicles, traversing the same demanding routes to support riders, assist race marshals, and keep operations running smoothly through every twist and turn.
“This year’s theme, ‘Forged in Flame, Carved in Ice,’ captures the dual spirit of the gravel community — fierce in competition yet cool in celebration,” said Ritchie Santayana, Group Category Director of Gruppo Innovare Corp (Specialized Philippines), the event’s organizer. “Gravelton Clark 2025 pushed limits both on and off the trail, giving riders a chance to experience adventure at full throttle while strengthening bonds within the community.”
For Ford Philippines, the partnership was a natural fit. “We’re proud to team up with Gravelton PH to champion passion, grit, and excellence,” said Mark Parulan, Marketing Director of Ford Philippines. “The Ford Ranger embodies the same adventurous energy that defines Gravelton — built tough, capable, and ready to conquer any terrain.”
Gravelton Clark 2025 once again proved that the gravel racing scene in the Philippines isn’t just about endurance — it’s about community, resilience, and the shared joy of the ride.
