Clark Phil-Kor Half Marathon 2026 - Pampanga, Philippines

The Clark Phil-Kor Half Marathon 2026 is a Filipino-Korean friendship running event scheduled for Sunday, 22 November 2026, at the Clark Parade Grounds in Pampanga, Philippines. Organised by SMOKE10 Events Management, its programme covers 3 km, 5 km, 10 km and 21 km, offering a choice of a shorter community run or a half-marathon challenge. The official event poster uses the slightly shorter name Clark Phil-Kor Marathon 2026. The organiser’s current event-specific registration page confirms 22 November 2026, resolving the earlier one-day discrepancy in its events index. The current official banner advertises a 04:00 PHT (UTC+8) event start; individual distance flag-offs remain to be confirmed.

Event atmosphere and venue

The race celebrates the connection between the Philippines and South Korea, reflected in the two national flags on the official 2026 artwork and the coordinated red, blue and white race kit. Clark Parade Grounds is a longstanding recreational and sporting precinct within the Clark Freeport Zone, close to Angeles City. Its established use for running makes it a useful, recognisable assembly point, but the 2026 road course and exact start-line access have not been independently confirmed. Follow the organiser's later course map and traffic guidance rather than assuming every distance stays within the grounds.

What participants receive

The current promotional artwork shows a race singlet, RFID-enabled race bib and finisher medal for all four distances. Runners in the 10 km and 21 km categories are additionally shown a finisher shirt. The poster displays example medals and garments for each category, so check your selected distance before registering.

Registration and preparation

The organiser directs runners to the My Run Time registration platform. Its poster also advertises in-person registration at Decathlon SM Clark, on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 7:00 pm, subject to the store's current arrangements.

The advertised entry fees are PHP 790 for 3 km, PHP 1,090 for 5 km, PHP 1,390 for 10 km and PHP 1,890 for 21 km. The live checkout adds PHP 50 processing fee per entry and lists regular registration until 18 November 2026, subject to remaining places. No precise closing time is stated. Confirm the total and availability during checkout. Flag-off times, wave assignments, race-pack collection arrangements, course cut-offs, hydration and the final runner briefing are not yet verified in the published materials consulted. The advertised 04:00 PHT event time is not confirmation that all four distances start together.
