Last updated August 9, 2026
The Discovery Marathon is a Cebu road race with an unusual distance spread: full marathon (42K), half (21K), 12K, and 6K — none of the standard 10K/5K pairings. Organised by KNC at City Di Mare, a waterfront development in Cebu's South Road Properties (SRP), it offers a flat, modern course with sea views. September in Cebu is the transition into the northeast monsoon — warm but manageable. Registration isn't open yet. For Cebu runners wanting a full marathon with distinctive distance options, this is worth tracking.
