The marathon will feature 42K, 21K, 10K, and 5K race categories. In support of the event, CITE will deploy 300 students and 35 staff members to assist at hydration and water stations during race day, as well as during race kit claiming from January 8 to January 10, 2026.
The event is expected to draw over 12,000 runners, including participants from 47 countries, further solidifying Cebu’s status as a premier destination for international running events.
Earlier this year, CERC assured runners of a smoother and improved Cebu Marathon experience in 2026 and promise to deliver a better and more seamless Cebu Marathon experience this year.
