Covers Metro Cebu: Cebu City, Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu (Mactan Island).
Cebu's everyday running hub is the roughly 1.2km loop around Cebu IT Park, which is busy at 5am and 6pm on weekdays and is often combined with Cebu Business Park for longer routes. Long runs go to the flat, wide roads of the South Road Properties (SRP) near SM Seaside, hill sessions go up the road to Tops in Busay, and track work goes to the Cebu City Sports Center oval. Mandaue runners use the Mandani Bay waterfront, and Mactan runners use the Mactan Newtown area. The scene is built around free community runs and the January Cebu Marathon, which the Cebu Executive Runners Club founded.
A club set up in 1997 by working professionals, which founded and organised the Cebu Marathon. The Freeman reported that for the 2027 edition CERC moves to a consultant role, with the Cebu City Sports Commission and DJT Events organising.
