About the event

Amid the running boom currently prevailing in the country, there is a pining, nay, a clamor for a marathon to put anew the Philippines in the international marathon map. This year, being the centenary of organized sports in the archipelago, is most opportune time to start the journey to reliving the glory of Philippine road running. In the '80s when road running was at its peak, three races in the Philippines managed to barge into the exclusive club of marathons - the prestigious Association of International Marathons (AIMS), now known as Association of International Marathons and Distance Races. While such races stood far from approaching the 10,000-runner threshold the top 10 marathons in the world (except Amsterdam Marathon) easily surpassed, AIMS recognized the high quality of marathons staged within our shores.
