Marilaque Run 2027 - Tanay, Rizal

Marilaque Run 2027 returns to Sampaloc, Tanay, Rizal on Saturday 20 February 2027 for its fourth edition. The community fundraising event brings runners to the upland roads around the Marikina-Infanta Highway, known as the Marilaque Highway, and raises support for Rehoboth Sampaloc Ministries and children at the Rehoboth Children's Home. Previous editions have welcomed recreational runners seeking mountain scenery as well as participants supporting the charitable cause.

Current-edition distances and registration

The 2027 organiser-advertised race distances are 7K, 10K and 18K, with entry prices of PHP 950, PHP 1,100 and PHP 1,200 respectively. These are 2027 prices, not the 2025 or 2026 price table. The organisers state that payments support charity and provision of race kits, and advertise a running shirt, metal finisher medal, race bib and raffle entry. The 18K is an actual advertised 18 km distance and must not be mistaken for a half marathon or 15K: ARC's current distance selector has no exact 18K option, so the long distance is documented here until a matching category becomes available.

Online sign-up is advertised through the event's 2027 registration link: Marilaque Run Year 4 form. Check the form and the organiser's current Facebook updates for space availability, payment arrangements, consent rules and any announced closing date; the final deadline has not been verified.

Venue, start schedule and runner guidance

The event is advertised for Sampaloc, Tanay, Rizal, but an independently confirmed 2027 starting gate and category-specific flag-off times have not been published in the accessible announcement. The map is pinned to the general Sampaloc community centre area for orientation, not an official start line. The midnight calendar time is a date-only placeholder, not a midnight race start. Check the final participant guide before travelling for exact assembly point, start time, course maps, cut-offs and race-pack claiming.

The Marilaque Highway area has elevated, hilly terrain. Train appropriately for gradients and changing weather, follow marshals and traffic controls, respect the host communities and avoid assuming the road is closed outside the official course.
