The Condura Skyway Marathon 2017 Postponed
The Condura Skyway Marathon 2017 is postponed. Here’s the official statement from Condura Skyway Marathon Team:
Dear Fellow runners,
In 2008, we started a revolution by launching a World Class international standard race in the Philippines called the Condura run. With the soul of being a “run by runners for runners” and the vision of being “the Premier Marathon Event in the Philippines and Asia Pacific”, the Condura Skyway Marathon became the most loved, the most anticipated and the biggest marathon event in the Philippines.
But what made this run extra special is that you, our runners ran to champion environmental causes in Tubbataha, the Dolphins of Bohol, the Whale sharks of Donsol and the mangroves of Zamboanga de Sibugay. You also championed social causes through the Hero Foundation where we sent hundreds of children of our fallen soldiers to school.
After 8 years and 7 marathons, with over 100 thousand participants from all over the country and from the 4 corners of the World, we asked ourselves 1 question – How can we make the marathon much better in order to stay true to our vision? And the answer is to postpone the 2017 Marathon in order to give us more time to plan and execute a bigger and better marathon in the future.
We would like to thank our partners, Skyway, Asics, Asia Brewery, Run Rio and Hero Foundation for their support through the years. This race would not be possible without you. We would also like to thank our runners for their loyalty and support and for more importantly running to make our country a better place one step at a time!
Looking forward to seeing you all in the future Condura Marathons.
Mr. Raul Patrick Concepcion
Condura Skyway Marathon Running Ambassador
Mr. Ton Concepcion
Condura Skyway Marathon Founder
We are definitely looking forward to a bigger race in The Condura Skyway Marathon 2018!

I think the entry of 7-11 doing a marathon on the Skyway shattered the prestige of the CSM. They’re not the exclusive Skyway run anymore. Naunahan sila ng 7-11.
Tanda na, baka di na makatakbo sa 2018.

I don’t think that is enough reason to postpone..

Shet posponed pala
Perhaps the deaths of two participants earlier this year cast a dark shadow over the marathon and may have influenced the decision to postpone.
