Ford Philippines showcased the capabilities of its Ranger pickup trucks as it became the official support vehicle during the Gravelton Clark 2025 cycling event. The Blue Oval brand decided to be the event’s official mobility partner to be able to highlight the Ranger’s versatility and functionality.
The Gravelton Clark 2025 was held last October 18 to 19 at Filinvest Mimosa Plus Leisure City, Clark, Pampanga. This marks the event’s fourth season, which is regarded as the country’s leading gravel race. It has brought together cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts for a thrilling two-day experience across Central Luzon’s rugged terrains.
This year’s theme was dubbed ‘Forged in Flame, Carved in Ice’, a duality that is said to shape the gravel community. Gravelton PH added that the fourth season was geared to make the event more challenging.
“This year, Gravelton Clark 2025 is anchored on the theme ‘Forged in Flame, Carved in Ice’ representing the dual forces that shape the gravel community: fierce in competition, yet chill in celebration. We’re pushing the limits on and off the trail to give riders a full-throttle gravel racing experience while bringing the entire community closer together,” Group Category Director of Gruppo Innovare Corp. Ritchie Santayana said.
Building a bold partnership and carving their place in the heart of the gravel community, Ford PH backed the event by deploying three Ranger pickup trucks as official track and logistics vehicles. Ford said that the Ranger trucks roamed the course to assist race marshals, provide support to riders, and ensure seamless coordination and safety across challenging routes.
“Ford Group Philippines is thrilled to partner with Gravelton PH as our brand aims to support activities that are geared to promote passion, grit, and excellence. Our Ford Ranger was chosen to be the official support vehicle as its versatility and features are perfectly suited to keep up with the adventurous and challenging pace of the Gravelton event,” said Ford PH Marketing Director Mark Parulan.
