MARINDUQUE EXTREME

"MARINDUQUE EXTREME SERIES 2" goes on Saturday morning, November 28th. The race will occur at the very heart of an old mine site in Capayang, Mogpog. The lake dominating the scenic view is what remains of an old open mining pit, part of the mountain that was carved and dug out more than 420 meters below sea level.


Abandoned for five decades, this hallowed ground has become a Mecca for extreme sports enthusiasts, offering adrenaline rush-guaranteed sports events suited for athletic men and women with nerves of steel. This is the present home of Team Marinduque for its Aggressive Cross-Country Mountain Bike Race, Offroad Duathlon Competition and other adventure sports like motocross and airsoft.

Race Director is Dr. Edgar Ancheta, with Dr. Josue Victoria as Race Grand Marshall. Romeo Mabiog, Sr. is Team Marinduque president. A project of the Provincial Government of Marinduque led by Gov. Jose Antonio N. Carrion, Atty. Lord Allan Velasco, Marinduque Tourism Council president and Team Marinduque.
