About the AIA Rock 'n' Roll Running Series Manila Half Marathon
Manila turns the half marathon into an overnight city event, with a start after midnight and music carrying runners toward sunrise. The half is separately timed from the marathon and other weekend distances, and the late-night schedule changes the usual preparation: sleep, humidity, and pre-race fueling deserve as much attention as pace.
Course
The 2026 half follows a two-loop road route from Kilometer 0 on Roxas Boulevard, using Quirino Avenue, the National Museum area, Intramuros, and Anda Circle before finishing near Katigbak Parkway. The schedule starts the half at 2 a.m. and closes the finish at 7:30 a.m.
Race-day weather
The 2 a.m. start avoids the worst daytime heat, but Manila remains warm and humid overnight. Official Port Area climate normals put November near a 28.3°C mean with 75% relative humidity, so hydration and controlled early pacing remain important before sunrise.
