Adventure met adrenaline as Gravelton PH delivered another action-packed weekend at Gravelton Clark 2025 last October 18 and 19 at Filinvest Mimosa Plus Leisure City in Clark, Pampanga. Now on its fourth year, the premier gravel race drew cyclists, adventure athletes, and outdoor fans for two days of intense racing across Central Luzon’s rugged terrain and scenic wild tracks.

Ford Philippines strengthened its presence in the gravel community as the official vehicle partner, deploying three Ford Ranger pickup trucks to serve as track and logistics units throughout the event. The fleet assisted race marshals, transported gear, and supported riders navigating demanding routes designed to test endurance, skill, and grit.
