The bottom line
The Bohol International Marathon brings a full 42.195km to Panglao Island — Bohol's premier beach destination, connected to the main island by bridge and home to world-class dive sites and white-sand beaches. Four distances (42K, 21K, 10K, 5K) with registration open. Bohol itself is one of the Philippines' top destinations: the Chocolate Hills, the tarsier sanctuary, and the Loboc River cruise make for possibly the best post-race recovery in the country. August is the tail of the wet season in the Visayas. For runners wanting an island marathon with genuine tourism appeal, this is a standout Philippine pick.
