PUMA Philippines is expanding its Philippine Half Marathon Series 2026, inviting runners across the country to take on the challenge under the banner “Six Cities. Zero Excuses.”
Organized in partnership with Runrio, the nationwide race series features 5K, 10K, and 21K categories and aims to bring competitive road racing closer to regional running communities.
Following its successful kickoff in Iloilo, the series heads to Davao on July 19 at Azuela Cove, followed by Cebu on Aug. 2 at Gatewalk Central Mandaue, Clark on Aug. 23 at Filinvest Mimosa+, Cagayan de Oro on Sept. 6 at Ayala Malls Centrio, before culminating with the grand finale in Manila on Oct. 11 at the SM Mall of Asia.
All registered participants will receive an official PUMA race singlet along with a city-exclusive finisher medal.
Legacy Medal awaits six-city finishers
The race series also features the coveted All-City Finisher Legacy Medal, an exclusive award reserved for runners who complete all six race legs—Iloilo, Davao, Cebu, Clark, Cagayan de Oro, and Manila.
Participants from last year’s Philippine Half Marathon Series who were unable to complete all locations still have the opportunity to earn the Legacy Medal by finishing their remaining race destinations this year.
While the Legacy Medal is reserved for those who complete every leg, runners joining any of the remaining races will still receive an official PUMA finisher medal for their respective event.
Performance gear for every race
To support athletes throughout the series, PUMA is highlighting its latest performance running footwear designed for different race conditions.
Leading the lineup is the PUMA Deviate NITRO™ 4, priced at ₱10,500, a responsive daily training shoe built with advanced cushioning and propulsion technology to help runners maximize speed and performance.
For runners seeking a more comfortable everyday training option, PUMA also offers the Deviate Pure NITRO™, available for ₱8,000, designed to provide a smooth and supportive ride while chasing new personal bests.
Bringing world-class racing closer to Filipino runners
Through the Philippine Half Marathon Series, PUMA continues to expand access to premium running experiences outside Metro Manila while celebrating the unique landscapes and running communities across the country.
Registration for the remaining race legs is now open through the official Race Roster platform. Participants can secure their slots and receive an official PUMA race singlet as they take on the challenge of the 2026 Philippine Half Marathon Series.
PUMA Philippines will also share race updates, event announcements, and product releases through its official social media channels.
