Five Distances, One Running Destination
GENERAL SANTOS CITY- One of the event's notable features is its range of race categories: 5K, 10K, 21K, 32K, and 42K. This gives recreational runners an opportunity to participate while allowing experienced athletes to take on longer-distance challenges. Each category offers a different test of stamina, preparation, and pacing, making the marathon accessible to participants with varying running goals. The event information also lists race inclusions such as RFID-enabled bibs, finisher medals, shirts, singlets, and loot bags.
More Than a Race Across the City
Beyond the individual competition, the marathon brings attention to running as an activity that connects people through a shared interest in health and physical fitness. KCC Mall of Gensan has also identified KCC Foundation, Inc. as the beneficiary of the event, giving the gathering a charitable purpose alongside its sporting activities. Participants are therefore taking part in more than a personal endurance challenge, as the event also supports the foundation's education and livelihood programs. This combination of athletics and community support gives the marathon another dimension beyond the finish line
General Santos Strengthens Its Place in Regional Running
Hosting a marathon with distances extending to 42 kilometers gives General Santos City an opportunity to welcome runners seeking different levels of competition. The event's two-day schedule at Veranza Alfresco also provides a central gathering point for participants and supporters. With its combination of recreational and long-distance categories, the KCC GenSan Marathon adds another major sporting activity to the SOCCSKSARGEN calendar. Each completed kilometer reflects the preparation and determination that runners bring to the course.
