Welcome Message

Dear Runners,

Time flies so fast! The Condura Skyway Marathon is on its 5th run!

I vividly recall the humble beginnings of the Condura Skyway Marathon which we started in 2008 as the Condura Run. From 2,000 participants during its maiden run, this sporting event’s following grew to 15,000 strong runners!

It all began with my passion for running and my concern for the marine environment as a diver. Now I am truly glad that I am able to share this commitment to a lot of running enthusiasts in the country. As the head of the only remaining Filipino corporation engaged in appliance manufacturing, this is my modest means of giving back to the nation. Through the Condura Skyway Marathon, we hope to encourage fellow Filipinos to be more involved with marine environment protection for the sake of future generations.

True to the Condura Skyway Marathon tradition of introducing new and exciting things each year, we have came up with 5 thrills and chills on Year 5 –

  1. RUN FOR THE MANGROVES. The Condura Skyway Marathon recognizes the
    vast benefits of mangroves in the improvement of the ecosystem and the protection of coastal communities. Every runner in the CSM gets to donate three (3) mangroves in the 10-hectare CSM Mangrove Forest in Sibugay Bay, Zamboanga.
  2. FIRST MIDNIGHT MARATHON IN THE COUNTRY. Raise the bar and brave new challenges by running the first midnight marathon in the country.
  3. RUN THE SKYWAY UP TO ALABANG! Run the full length of the Skyway and conquer 5 cities in 1 Go – Muntinlupa, Paranaque, Taguig, Pasay and Makati!
  4. NEW VENUE. Races happen too often mostly in the same old venues. The premier running event has found a new home in the South! Bask in the sights and sounds of vibrant Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
  5. ALL RACE CATEGORIES GO UP THE SKYWAY. In the past Condura runs, only those registered in the 10k, 16k, 21k and 42k got to run the Skyway. In 2012, the 3k and 5k runners get to join the lot in enjoying the elevated highway too!

Most importantly, we are always mindful of the fact that we would not be here today if it were not for your support. Thank you very much for your trust and confidence in us. We are also appreciative of our sponsors and partners for believing in our vision that has made the Condura Skyway Marathon a huge success each time.

See you at the starting line! But till then – train smart, rest well and enjoy the experience.

Sincerely yours,

Ton Concepcion
Condura Skyway Marathon
Founder & Chief Event Officer
