Alhamdulillah! Lubos ang aking pasasalamat sa naging matagumpay na pagdaraos ng DATU RANAW OFFROAD CHALLENGE 2026. Maraming salamat sa ating 62 competitors, organizers, teams, volunteers at sa bawat isa na naging bahagi ng event na ito.

Isa sa mga pinakaespesyal na bahagi ng event ay ang paggawad ng Kampilan sa ating mga champions. Higit pa ito sa isang trophy, ito ay simbolo ng karangalan, katapangan, at pagkakakilanlan nating mga Meranaws at maipakita sa ating mga kalahok ang ating tradisyon, mainit na pagtanggap at mayamang kultura ng ating lalawigan.

Sa ating mga racers at sa kani-kanilang teams, taos-puso akong nagpapasalamat sa pagtanggap ninyo sa hamon ng ating mga trails at sa pagbibigay ng isang exciting, competitive, at truly inspiring na competition. You didn't just race, you became part of the story of Lanao del Sur. Ang inyong presensya at pakikilahok ang nagbigay-buhay sa isa sa mga pinakaabangang sports events ng ating pagdiriwang.

Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. Hangad ko na muli namin kayong makasama sa mga susunod pang off-road adventures dito sa Lanao del Sur. Safe travels, and see you again on our trails!

DATU RANAW OFFROAD CHALLENGE: A Roaring Success

Marawi City, Lanao del Sur — The DATU RANAW OFFROAD CHALLENGE, held from July 24 to 26, 2026, proved to be an exhilarating celebration of grit, determination, and community spirit in honor of the 67th Araw ng Lanao del Sur. Spearheaded by Vice Governor Mohammad Khalid “Mujam” Raki-in Adiong and hosted by Team Kuyaw, the event transformed Marawi City into a premier hub of adventure sports and motorsports tourism.

A record field of 62 elite competitors converged from across the country, including drivers from Ilocos, Benguet, Pampanga, Bulacan, Bicol, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga, Davao, and Lanao del Sur. The elite lineup featured four past King of RIOT champions, PHLOX 2022 and 2024 champions, and the first Borneo Safari Philippines champion. Navigating Marawi’s steep climbs, deep mud, and rocky trails across categories like extreme rock crawling, mud racing, and endurance trials, participants put on a masterclass of driving prowess and endurance.

Adding deep cultural significance, event champions were awarded a custom-made Kampilan—a traditional Maranao warrior sword symbolizing courage, honor, and resilience. Spectators lined the trails, cheering on drivers while local vendors offered traditional Lanao delicacies, blending world-class motorsports with rich Maranao heritage and hospitality.

With plans already underway for next year, the DATU RANAW OFFROAD CHALLENGE stands out as a memorable chapter in the region’s growing legacy of adventure tourism and community pride.
