Last updated August 4, 2026
Dagan Cebu 2026 stands out for its distance spread: 21K, 16K, 12K, and 6K — none of the standard 10K/5K pairings. That unusual format, organised by KNC at Gatewalk in Mandaue City, suggests a race designed around local running preferences rather than a generic template. Cebu's November weather is transitioning into the dry season, offering reasonable running conditions. Registration isn't open yet, but for Cebu-based runners looking for a distinctive local event, it's worth watching.
