General Santos City is gearing up for one of the most unique and meaningful running events of the year — the Tuna Fest 2026: Three-Legged Half-Marathon Run, scheduled for August 30, 2026 at the Oval Plaza.
Billed as “Takbo Alay sa mga Pilay” (A Run for the Challenged), the event aims to celebrate unity, resilience, and inclusivity through the power of sport. Unlike traditional half-marathons, this race pairs runners together in a three-legged format, challenging participants to work as a team while raising awareness for persons with disabilities.
Registration is now open with an early bird promo for those who sign up ahead of the event. Running enthusiasts, community groups, and families are encouraged to participate in what promises to be a memorable and heartwarming experience in the Tuna Capital of the Philippines.
The Tuna Festival itself is one of General Santos City’s most anticipated annual celebrations, honoring the city’s thriving tuna fishing industry and the hardworking fisherfolk and workers who drive the local economy. The three-legged marathon adds a fresh and inspiring twist to the festivities, blending athleticism with advocacy.
