Takbo Tarlaqueño Leg 3 Trilogy Run Tarlac 2026

Takbo Tarlaqueño's 2026 Trilogy Run reaches its final leg at New Clark City Athletics Stadium in Capas, Tarlac, on Sunday, 22 November. The event invites runners to complete the series and cross the finish line on the stadium's distinctive blue athletics track, receiving the final interlocking piece of the trilogy puzzle medal.

IMPORTANT: 42K flag-off time needs organiser confirmation

The organiser's 2026 race-details table states a 02:00 PHT start for the 42K, but the current-edition official schedule graphic says 00:00 (midnight) PHT. These are two conflicting official sources. Neither should be treated as definitive until the organiser clarifies the start. The event's structured marathon start currently follows the text table and must be verified before publication. Sources: official registration and details and organiser's 2026 schedule graphic.

Race-day programme

Times below are Philippine Standard Time (PHT, UTC+8). The three shorter-distance starts are consistent between the official table and schedule graphic:

• 42K marathon: start time DISPUTED: 00:00 on organiser graphic versus 02:00 in the organiser's booking table; obtain written race organiser confirmation.
• 21K half marathon: 04:00 flag-off
• 10K: 05:00 flag-off
• 5K: 05:30 flag-off
• All distances: published course cut-off at 08:00. This allows very different finishing windows by distance; select your distance carefully and confirm the latest route and cut-off instructions directly with the organiser.

Registration and event rules

The organiser's booking platform lists regular registration from 16 September until 31 October 2026 and late registration from 1 to 8 November, subject to capacity. The category fees displayed in this listing are the regular-period prices applicable at the time of preparation; late-period prices increase by PHP 100 for each distance. Entries are advertised as non-refundable and non-transferable. Minors are not permitted. Race bibs must remain intact and legible; unauthorised pacers, bib sharing and shortcuts are prohibited.

Preparing for race day

The start and finish hub is NCC Athletics Stadium in New Clark City. The course culminates at the stadium track, so allow adequate travel time to reach the venue, particularly for the marathon's unresolved midnight-versus-02:00 start. Bring identification and follow instructions for bib collection, course safety, hydration stations and any final organiser updates. Race-pack collection arrangements and individual route maps should be checked through the official event registration link before travelling.
