Last updated August 9, 2026
The Singlife Davao Marathon is Mindanao's premier marathon — a RUNRIO-produced, Singlife insurance-backed race at SM City Lanang in Davao City, the 'Durian Capital' of the Philippines. RUNRIO's gold-standard production ensures professional timing and race-day operations. Davao is Mindanao's largest city and a major destination in its own right — Mount Apo, the Philippine Eagle Centre, and some of the best fruit in the country. August in Davao is relatively dry. A top-tier Philippine marathon on the country's southern island.
