The 2026 National MILO Marathon Finals takes place in Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga on Sunday, December 6, 2026. RUNRIO Inc. organizes the race, which caps off the 50th anniversary of the MILO Marathon, billed as “The Golden Run.” New to the series? Read our National MILO Marathon guide for the full schedule, qualifying times and past champions. Runners can choose from 3K, 5K, 10K and 21K categories, while the 42K full marathon is reserved for qualifiers from this year’s regional legs.
