Travel · Logistics
Welcome to the Philippines! As you prepare to experience the gravel racing capital of the country, immerse yourself in a land known for its breathtaking tropical islands, pristine beaches, and the world-renowned warmth and hospitality of our people.
By air
Recommended · ~1 hr to the venue
When planning your journey to Gravel Grain in Nueva Ecija, we highly recommend flying into Clark International Airport, which serves as an excellent gateway and is just a convenient one-hour drive from the event venue and official hotels.
UAE · Singapore · Taiwan
Ideal stopover countries include the UAE for Dubai or Abu Dhabi for people coming from Europe, and Singapore and Taiwan for those from around the Asia-Pacific region, allowing you to choose airlines that fly directly into Clark. If you are traveling from the Americas, you can fly into Taiwan and connect to a flight into Clark.
Alternative · ~2.5 hrs by road
Alternatively, you may fly into Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, though it involves an approximately two-and-a-half-hour drive to reach the heart of the action.
On the ground
From either airport · for a fee
For added convenience, we offer a dedicated shuttle service to pick you up from either airport and bring you directly to your hotel for a fee.
NLEX → SCTEX → Cabanatuan
From Metro Manila, take NLEX northbound, then SCTEX toward Tarlac. Follow the roads toward Nueva Ecija and Cabanatuan, and check the designated start point before your final approach.
From Cubao or Pasay
Direct buses to Cabanatuan City leave from major Metro Manila terminals, including Cubao and Pasay. From Cabanatuan, local transport reaches nearby towns and the start.
Seven decisions before the start line.
Everything a long day across the granary asks of you — the bike, the drivetrain, the tires, the fuel, the navigation, and what you wear. Presented by Pas Normal Studios, whose Escapism collection was developed with PAS Racing for exactly this kind of racing.
Long, exposed racing in tropical heat across the granary. Each category below opens a page of what we would ride, with links out to the retailers.
In partnership with the Nueva Ecija Tourism Board
We're working with the Local Tourism Board of Nueva Ecija to make sure getting here, staying here, and finding good food after the ride is easy.
Cabanatuan City is the most practical base. It has the province's most hotels, with food and groceries close by.
Confirm bike storage when you book
Nueva Ecija is known for Batutay, Cabanatuan-style longganisa, and carabao-milk treats. Save them for after the finish.
Pre-race: eat what you know
December is cooler and drier, not cold.
Pack for dust and mud
After conquering the Gravel Grain, why not extend your stay and turn your event into a true 'racecation'? From Clark International Airport, you can easily catch a flight to some of the Philippines' most spectacular islands and pristine beaches.
