Full Marathon Races in the Philippines: 2026 Calendar Guide
Last updated July 31, 2026
August and September carry the bulk of this calendar, with nine and eight races respectively before things thin out toward year-end and a single January date in Cebu closes the cycle. The spread runs from Luzon towns like Agoo and Pulilan to island settings such as Panglao in Bohol and Siquijor, plus established city races in Cebu, Manila, and Lapu-Lapu. Scale varies widely too: some events pair the 42.195km distance with just a half and 10km, while others like iRun Subic Bay and KCC GenSan offer the full marathon as a standalone race. Anyone comparing options is really choosing between a compact provincial run and a larger multi-distance event with an international field.

Frequently asked questions
When is marathon season in the Philippines?
August and September are the busiest stretches, with nine races in August 2026 and eight in September, including the Bohol International Marathon, Discovery Marathon in Cebu City, and Bicolandia Marathon. Things ease into October and November before tapering to just two in December and one in January 2027, the Cebu Marathon.
Are there marathons on islands other than the main cities?
Yes. The Isla Del Fuego Marathon runs on Siquijor in September, and the Bohol International Marathon takes place in Panglao in August, both offering a different setting from the city-based races in Manila, Cebu City, or Angeles City.
How do I choose between a small race and a bigger one?
Look at the distance lineup: races like iRun Subic Bay and KCC GenSan Marathon offer only the 42.195km distance, suited to runners focused purely on the marathon, while events such as the AIA Rock 'n' Roll Running Series Manila or Bicolandia Marathon pair the full marathon with half, 10km, and 5km options for mixed groups.
