Manila — The PUMA Philippine Half Marathon Series 2026 is challenging athletes nationwide to step up and run. Driven by the mandate “Six Cities. Zero Excuses,” the series brings competitive 5K, 10K, and 21K races directly to regional communities.
In partnership with Runrio, the half marathon series builds on its successful launch in Iloilo as it now moves to five more cities. The series will head into Mindanao for the Davao leg on July 19 at Azuela Cove, before crossing over to Cebu on August 2 at Gatewalk Central Mandaue. The momentum will then shift to Luzon with the Clark race on August 23 at Filinvest Mimosa+, heading back south to Cagayan de Oro on September 6 at Ayala Malls Centrio, before culminating in a massive finale in Manila on October 11 at the SM Mall of Asia. All registered participants will receive official PUMA race singlets and city-specific finisher medals.
For the dedicated athletes who conquered the Iloilo pavement, the race for the coveted All-City Finisher Legacy Medal is now in full swing. This exclusive accolade is only for the elite few who will complete all six race legs: Iloilo, Davao, Cebu, Clark, Cagayan de Oro, and Manila. Returning runners from last year’s Half Marathon Series who missed specific locations can still earn the Legacy Medal by completing their remaining cities this year. While the Legacy Medal is reserved for the six-city finishers, PUMA is inviting local runners in every remaining region to join the challenge and earn an official PUMA finisher medal.
