Facts last checked August 25, 2026

Sante Barley Trilogy Run Asia 2026 – Davao Leg 3 is a road race scheduled for September 27, 2026, at Azuela Cove in Davao City, Philippines. Organized by Runrio under the Sante Barley Trilogy Run Asia brand, the event offers multiple distances including 32km, 21.1km (the primary half-marathon distance), 10km, and 5km.

The bottom line

Davao Leg 3 closes out the local Trilogy Run Asia progression at Azuela Cove -- a 25-hectare mixed-use waterfront development by Ayala Land and The Alcantara Group, launched in 2017 and facing Samal Island across Davao Gulf. That's a genuinely modern, purpose-built venue with a seaside promenade and walkable high street, distinct from the mall-anchored venues used at most other legs in this series. Distances run 5K/10K/21K up to the signature 32K, following the same progressive structure seen at the Iloilo, Manila, Cebu and CDO legs. Registration status wasn't yet announced at the time of this research.

The Davao Finale at a Waterfront Development

Davao Leg 3 offers 5K, 10K, 21K and the series' signature 32K distance, held at Azuela Cove, Davao City. ^[1] Like the Iloilo, Manila, Cebu and CDO legs covered elsewhere in this research, the Trilogy series builds progressively across the calendar year, with completion of earlier legs' shorter distances feeding toward a 42K National Finals qualification.

Azuela Cove: A Newer Waterfront District

Azuela Cove is a 25-hectare mixed-use, master-planned development by Ayala Land and The Alcantara Group at the intersection of J.P. Laurel Avenue and R. Castillo Street, facing Samal Island and Davao Gulf. ^[2] Launched in 2017, it's become one of Davao's most dynamic waterfront communities, with 40% of the estate dedicated to green space, a Central Park connecting to a seaside Esplanade, and Azuela High Street -- a walkable dining and shopping strip. That gives Leg 3 a genuinely scenic, modern venue distinct from the mall-anchored starts used elsewhere in this series.

Same City, Different Series

Davao also hosts the Singlife Davao Marathon (covered elsewhere on this site) at SM City Lanang -- a separate RunRio-adjacent event using a different, mall-anchored venue. ^[1] Worth noting the distinction if you're researching Davao races generally: this Trilogy leg and the Singlife marathon are not the same event, despite both being in Davao City.

Registration Not Yet Announced

As of this writing, registration status for Davao Leg 3 has not been announced. ^[1] Consistent with several other newer legs in this 2026 series researched in this batch, it's worth checking RunRio's official race calendar directly for updates rather than assuming an open registration window.

Should You Run It?

If you want a scenic, waterfront-venue race as part of the Trilogy series' progression toward National Finals qualification, Davao Leg 3 on 27 September 2026 is an appealing pick -- Azuela Cove is a genuinely more distinctive setting than the mall-anchored venues used at several other legs. Watch official channels for registration details, since they weren't yet confirmed at the time of this research.
