Sta. Cruz Mountain Marathon 2026 takes place on 3 to 4 October 2026 at the Municipal Grounds in Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. The event is organised by Sta. Cruz Trail Runners.
Participants can choose from three mountain-running distances:
- 14K
- 21K
- 42K
The 14K provides the shortest option for runners looking to experience the trails of Sta. Cruz, while the 21K offers a half marathon-distance mountain challenge. Experienced trail and endurance runners can take on the 42K mountain marathon as the event’s longest category.
Set in the mountainous areas of Sta. Cruz, the event gives participants the opportunity to experience challenging off-road terrain and the natural landscapes of Davao del Sur.
The race weekend runs across 3 and 4 October, with the organiser promoting the event as a two-day mountain-running experience.
Participants should review the official registration page before race weekend for the latest information on registration fees, race entitlements, elevation profiles, mandatory gear, aid stations, gun start times, cut-off times, route details and race kit collection.
