40th Davao Finishers Marathon 2026

The 40th Davao Finishers Marathon marks a major milestone for one of Davao City's long-running road-race traditions. The 2026 edition is scheduled for Sunday, 6 December 2026 at Davao Global Township (DGT) in Matina, with 42K marathon, 21K half marathon, 10K and 5K categories. Registration is open on a first-come, first-served basis, with limited slots in each distance.

RunMan Racing's current event page lists promotional entry rates of PHP 2,500 for 42K, PHP 2,300 for 21K, PHP 1,400 for 10K and PHP 1,100 for 5K. These are live sale prices and may change as the remaining allocation is sold.

The 42K and 21K currently include a finisher shirt, race singlet, finisher medal, race bib, raffle entry, breakfast at Ahfat DGT and an event cap. The 10K and 5K include an event shirt, finisher medal, race bib, raffle entry, light snacks and an event cap.

The organiser's race rules state that bibs are non-transferable, runners must display them throughout the race, and unofficial pacing or assistance may lead to disqualification. Official placings use the organiser's race timing. Hydration will be available at the finish and at designated stations, while medical teams and ambulances are scheduled to be on standby. Participants under 18 require parent or guardian approval.

The current organiser pages contain inconsistent category labels in their start-time sections, so individual 2026 category starts have not been entered into ARC rather than risking incorrect data. A final 2026 course map, race-pack collection schedule, registration closing date, cut-offs and prize table have also not yet been clearly published on the official event page. Runners should recheck organiser updates closer to race weekend.
