Manila’s overnight full marathon starts before midnight
The two-date festival label can hide which evening marathon runners need to arrive. In the displayed edition, the full started before midnight on the first date, while shorter races began after midnight. Do not use the second day as your arrival evening or borrow the half-marathon schedule for the full distance.
The website gives the broad venue as the SM MOA Complex. For a future edition, obtain the specific assembly entrance, collection location and road-access plan before arranging transport. A shopping-complex address is not precise enough to identify the correct start gate during a large overnight event.
The full-marathon minimum age was 18 in the 2026 programme, and the organizer listed different eligibility for shorter races. Check your chosen category’s current rules when the next registration opens. An active-looking Register button on an old page should not be treated as confirmation of a new edition or new availability.
Overnight timing changes the practical preparation: plan rest, familiar pre-race food, the journey to the start and transport home after finishing. Do not assume darkness means the entire race will be cool or that the eight-hour limit remains unchanged next year. Check the actual forecast and the new aid map, then choose supplies you have used during comparable training. The displayed entry terms say fees cannot be deferred or transferred, so read the current checkout conditions before relying on a change. Keep a clear meeting plan with companions who may be racing at different times, and wait for an explicitly dated full-marathon programme before scheduling the final taper or buying non-refundable race travel.
