MANILA, Philippines — Lace up your rubber shoes for this summer’s most purposeful running event. Mark your calendars on May 3 for the comeback of Clark One Big Run this time to be held at the Filinvest Mimosa+ grounds in Clark City.

Organized by the Ateneo Graduate School of Business Clark Student and Alumni Association Inc. (AGSBCSAAI) in collaboration with the Clark City Marathon, this event is more than just a dash; it is a massive stride toward community health and nation-building.

A race for every runner

Whether you are a seasoned marathoner or a casual jogger, Clark One Big Run 2026 provides a distance suitable for any fitness level. Participants can select from five categories: 3km, 5km, 10km, 21km and 42km.

Every registered runner who crosses the finish line will be rewarded for their grit with a Finisher’s Medal plus a premium finisher shirt for the 21km and 42km runners to commemorate their achievement.

Short distance racers will each receive a 4-inch medal while 21km and 42km runners will each receive a 5-inch medal. Each participant will be provided as well with a race bib with RFID, a singlet and a drawstring bag. Photos will be available post event for free.

The marathon kicks off in the early hours of Sunday from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m., ensuring runners relish the cool morning breeze of Clark, Pampanga before the midday heat sets in.

Impacting lives beyond the finish line

What truly sets the Clark One Big Run is the heart of its purpose. The event functions as a primary fundraising tool for the AGSBCSAAI’s sustainable socio-civic initiatives. Every registration fee contributes directly to a "One Big” mission:

  • Rice donation: Distributing rice to jeepney and tricycle drivers in Angeles and Balibago, Pampanga affected by the global gas crisis
     
  • Healthcare access: Funding dental and medical missions for underserved locations
     
  • Education support: Supplying essential learning materials and constructing facilities to public schools in remote areas
     
  • Environmental protection: Launching sustainable projects aimed at conserving our natural resources

"Through this run, we turn a single day of fitness into a long-term impact for our fellow Filipinos," says Nyla Burgos, president of AGSBCSAAI. "It’s about fostering unity and a shared purpose within our community".
