On 11 January 2026, Cebu Marathon returns to the Queen City of the South as one of the Philippines’ biggest road-running festivals, anchored at SM Seaside City Cebu. Runners can choose from four distances — marathon (42K), half marathon (21K), 10K, and 5K — all designed to be accessible while still delivering big-race energy and crowd support. The terrain is asphalt city roads, generally fast and runnable, with long straights and sweeping sections that highlight Cebu’s waterfront and skyline. With thousands of participants across the distances, it’s a popular early-year goal race for PB attempts, first-time distance runners, and destination racers looking for a high-energy event weekend.
