The Sorsogon Kasanggayahan Marathon is a focused, single-distance full marathon in Sorsogon City — the capital of Sorsogon province in the Bicol region, at the southern tip of Luzon. Organised by Off Ground Events, the 42.195K-only format makes it a serious-marathoner's proposition. Sorsogon is known for its whale-shark interactions in Donsol (seasonal), the Bulusan Volcano, and a coastline that's among the wildest in Luzon. October is the tail of the typhoon season in Bicol — conditions can be wet. Registration isn't open yet.
