The challenge begins and ends at <strong>Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm<\/strong> (Checkpoint A), with strict registration times ensuring participants pace themselves appropriately throughout the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Iwahig, riders travel south to <strong>Bataraza<\/strong> (Checkpoint B), where they must register no earlier than <strong>1:00 PM on August 25, 2019<\/strong>. This leg covers approximately <strong>236 km<\/strong>, guiding riders along the island\u2019s coastal roads and rural villages. The journey continues northward to <strong>Puerto Princesa<\/strong> (Checkpoint C), a key urban hub in Palawan. Registration opens at <strong>5:00 PM on the same day<\/strong>, after another <strong>272 km<\/strong> of varied terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final leg takes riders further north to <strong>El Nido<\/strong> (Checkpoint D), famed for its dramatic limestone cliffs and island vistas. Participants must check in no earlier than <strong>6:00 AM on August 26, 2019<\/strong>, completing the <strong>225 km<\/strong> stretch. A return to the starting point closes the loop, with riders expected to finish by <strong>1:00 PM<\/strong> on August 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event blends adventure, discipline, and appreciation for Palawan\u2019s diverse geography, making the West Philippine Sea Challenge a memorable test of endurance and a celebration of the region\u2019s coastal spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:121px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"540\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-67 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/wpsc1-1.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"\/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#808493\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/localhost\/wordpress\/?page_id=72\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"http:\/\/localhost\/wordpress\/?page_id=72\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">Gallery<\/mark><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">z<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriot Riders of the Philippines proudly present the West Philippine Sea Challenge, a 1000 km ride across Palawan from August 25-26, 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-west-philippine-sea-challenge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotriders.ph\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotriders.ph\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotriders.ph\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotriders.ph\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotriders.ph\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/patriotriders.ph\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":81,"href":"https:\/\/patriotriders.ph\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27\/revisions\/81"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotriders.ph\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/28"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/patriotriders.ph\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotriders.ph\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patriotriders.ph\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
