THIS 2026

Team Matutum Runners, Inc. proudly presents the first-ever

MATUTUM MARATHON 2026, happening on March 28–29, 2026. This landmark event marks the evolution of the Kalilangan Marathon into a grander and more dynamic celebration that embodies the vibrant spirit and boundless energy of General Santos City.

MORE THAN JUST A RACE

a tribute to our city’s heritage, resilience, and unity

Matutum Marathon 2026 is more than just a race—it is a tribute to our city’s heritage, resilience, and unity. Runners will conquer four exciting categories—5KM, 10KM, 21KM, and 42KM—traversing routes that showcase General Santos City’s most iconic landmarks, allowing both participants and spectators to experience the rich culture, proud history, and natural beauty that define our home.

RUN WITH A PURPOSE

a step of hope and compassion

Beyond promoting tourism, wellness, and community pride, this marathon carries a heartfelt mission—to support cancer patients at Dr. Jorge P. Royeca Hospital. Each stride taken is a step of hope and compassion, transforming the spirit of running into an act of solidarity and care for those who need it most.
