GRIT OVER QUIT
Your run means more. It is shaped by effort, identity, connection, and meaning.
The Manila Marathon 2026 — the Philippines' most storied race, held every year since 1982 — returns on June 12-13, 2026 at the SM MOA Complex in Pasay City. The gold standard of Philippine running with 19,000 participants in 2025, it starts in darkness on the iconic Roxas Boulevard, threading past the CCP Complex, the US Embassy, the financial district of Ayala Avenue, and looping back via the Manila Bay waterfront to Luneta/Rizal Park. The course is flat, fast, and World Athletics-certified. Four distances with night gun times — the full 42K starting at midnight — make this one of Asia's most atmospheric races. Organised by Runrio Inc.
