Event Detail
The Great UP Run 2027 returns to the University of the Philippines Diliman campus in Quezon City on Sunday, 24 January 2027. Presented by RUNRIO together with the UP Office for Athletics and Sports Development (OASD), this community running event raises support and awareness for the university's varsity programmes. Students, athletes, faculty, alumni, friends and runners from Metro Manila can take part.
Race categories and venue
The event-specific 2027 official Race Roster registration page advertises 5 km, 10 km and 16 km (approximately ten miles). The venue is the A.S. Parking Lot on The Beta Way at UP Diliman, near Palma Hall. Route maps, certified course details, start corrals, distance-specific flag-off times and cut-off times have not yet been verified for this edition.
Distance discrepancy requiring confirmation: RUNRIO's general calendar currently displays 3K/5K/10K for 24 January 2027, whereas its dedicated current-edition registration page displays 5K/10K/16K. This listing prioritises the event-specific 2027 registration page and flags the conflict. ARC has no exact structured 16K distance, so the 16K is described here, not mislabelled as 15K. Check the organiser's latest category options before paying.
Registration and preparation
Visit the official 2027 race-registration page for current entry availability, race rules, payment options and confirmation. The Race Roster listing gives 03:00 Philippine time as its general event calendar time. This is not proof that any particular distance flags off at 03:00. Runners should follow the organiser's final wave schedule. The calendar timestamp on this listing is a placeholder for the event's start-of-operations, not a verified race gun.
Current 2027 fees, registration closing date, exact bib-collection venue and hours, race-kit entitlements and final course/finish arrangements are not confirmed from the available current-edition page. Previous years' prices, promotional items or routes must not be assumed to carry over. The event location's map reference is an approximate UP Diliman campus point rather than a surveyed start arch; allow sufficient travel time and follow race-week road-access notices.
Supporting university sport
The event is part of RUNRIO's ongoing initiative to bring the UP community together and support Fighting Maroons athletes. Check official announcements for prize rules, participation requirements, first-aid arrangements, aid stations and result timing.
