The bottom line
The PalawanPay Trilogy Marathon Palawan Leg combines three premium elements: RUNRIO's gold-standard race production, PalawanPay's fintech sponsorship, and Puerto Princesa — the gateway to the UNESCO-listed Underground River and one of the world's most celebrated island destinations. Five distances (42K, 21K, 16K, 10K, 5K) with the unusual 16K mid-distance option. Palawan in October is the tail of the wet season, but the destination appeal is strong enough to justify the weather risk. For runners wanting a RUNRIO-produced marathon on one of the Philippines' most beautiful islands, this is a priority track.
Palawan: The World's Best Island
Palawan consistently ranks among the world's best islands — Puerto Princesa is the gateway to the Underground River (a UNESCO World Heritage site and New 7 Wonders of Nature), Honda Bay's island-hopping, and some of the clearest water in the Philippines. [1] A RUNRIO-produced marathon here combines world-class race production with world-class post-race recovery.
