The race will span the 616 kilometers between Clark Field, Pampanga, and the summer capital Baguio City with a total of P744,300.00 prize money at stake. Fifteen teams will vie for the 2014 title, racing through the four stages in the only Union Cycliste Internationale-sanctioned road race in the country, dubbed as the Triple-X Stage. The race also serves as the qualifiers for the Filipinos to the next Asian Championship.
