Last updated August 4, 2026
The KCC GenSan Marathon is a single-distance full marathon in General Santos City — Mindanao's southern hub, best known as the tuna capital of the Philippines and the hometown of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. A standalone 42K, with no companion distances, makes it a focused proposition for serious marathoners. Registration isn't open yet and the reliability score is low, so it's one to track rather than book. The November date in GenSan is relatively dry, with manageable temperatures.
Scores summarise sentiment from the participant reviews cited below, not an official rating.
