Ayala to Ayala Challenge - Ayala Run Bacolod 2026

Ayala Run 2026, promoted as Ayala to Ayala Challenge Year 4, takes place on Sunday, 13 December 2026 at Ayala Malls Capitol Central in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. The event is presented by LCF Events PH in association with the mall and offers three distances: 3K, 6K and 12K.

The fourth-year challenge gives runners a choice between a short 3-kilometre participation distance, a 6-kilometre middle option and a 12-kilometre longer event. These are the advertised race lengths; a standard 10K or half-marathon has not been announced for this edition. The event's official 2026 poster displays all three distances and the Ayala Malls Capitol Central venue, along with images of the event's race clothing and finisher medals.

The organiser's own registration page currently displays regular-rate tickets of PHP 799 for 3K, PHP 899 for 6K and PHP 999 for 12K. The same race-kit inclusions are advertised for all three categories: a singlet or race shirt, race bib, three-inch metal finisher medal, electronic certificate, snacks and access to a photo booth. The earlier promotional poster also shows pre-early-bird and early-bird rates that have already expired; the live booking prices are the safer reference for new entrants.

LCF lists an event window beginning at 3:30 am on 13 December and continuing to 8:00 pm, but that window should not be treated as confirmation of each distance's gun start. Participants should check their confirmation and organiser instructions for race assembly, individual flag-off times, race-pack collection, course maps, any timing or safety restrictions, and updated local arrangements. The official page accepts event tickets online and identifies LCF Events PH as the contact point.

The meeting point is at Ayala Malls Capitol Central, a major central Bacolod shopping venue. Allow time before the early-morning programme to locate race facilities and collect any outstanding instructions.
