The Dipolog City Marathon is a local-government-organised full marathon on the Sunset Boulevard of Dipolog — the capital of Zamboanga del Norte on Mindanao's northwestern coast. Four distances (42K, 21K, 10K, 5K) backed by the city LGU. Dipolog is known for its sardine industry, its Spanish-era cathedral, and Dakak Beach Resort nearby. October in Zamboanga is relatively dry by Mindanao standards. For runners wanting a provincial Philippine marathon with government backing and a coastal boulevard course, this is one to track.
