Facts last checked August 25, 2026

The National MILO Marathon 2026 – Vermosa Leg is a half-marathon event scheduled for October 11, 2026, held in Vermosa, spanning Imus and Dasmariñas, Cavite, Philippines. Organized by RUNRIO Inc. under the long-running MILO Marathon banner, it offers multiple distance options including 1km, 3km, 5km, 10km, and the primary 21.1km half-marathon.

The bottom line

The Vermosa leg gives the MILO Marathon's 50th-anniversary Golden Run series a genuinely purpose-built venue: Vermosa is a 770-hectare Ayala Land township in Cavite, established in 2015 as the Philippines' first development explicitly built around active lifestyles and wellness, anchored by the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub (opened 2018). That's a meaningfully different setting than most MILO legs, which typically use city plazas or malls not specifically designed for athletic events. Five distances from 1K to 21K keep it accessible.

One of 15 Legs, at a Purpose-Built Sports Venue

The Vermosa leg offers 1K, 3K, 5K, 10K and 21.1K distances, part of the MILO Marathon's 50th-anniversary 'Golden Run' series -- 15 regional legs nationwide ahead of the National Finals in Clark City, Pampanga. ^[1] Unlike most legs in this series, which run through city streets or mall-adjacent plazas, Vermosa is a venue explicitly designed with athletic activity in mind.

The Philippines' First Active-Living Township

Vermosa is a 770-hectare mixed-use estate established by Ayala Land in 2015, straddling the cities of Imus and Dasmariñas in Cavite -- the first development of its kind in the Philippines built specifically to highlight active lifestyles and wellness. ^[2] Its centrepiece, the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub, opened to the public in March 2018 and combines residential, retail, office and institutional spaces with dedicated sports and fitness amenities.

A Genuine Fit for a Running Event

That wellness-focused design makes Vermosa a genuinely fitting host for a marathon leg, in contrast to venues repurposed from commercial or civic use. Purpose-built sports infrastructure typically means better road surfaces, clearer course marking, and amenities (medical stations, cooling zones) designed with athletic events specifically in mind.

Registration Not Yet Confirmed

^[1] Given the venue's growing profile as an active-lifestyle destination, demand could be notable once registration opens -- worth checking the official MILO site directly for updates.

Should You Run It?

If a MILO Marathon leg at a venue specifically built for athletic and wellness activities appeals -- rather than a repurposed city plaza -- the Vermosa leg on 11 October 2026 is a genuinely fitting choice within the 50th-anniversary Golden Run series. Confirm registration status with organisers before booking travel.
