“Meanwhile, online registration in the Dumaguete Adventure Marathon, the biggest sports tourism event in Negros Oriental, and scheduled on Nov 22 as part of the City’s fiesta celebration, presents an interesting development. The number of registered runners, with still three weeks to go, shows that most of the early birds are out-of-towners, with Cebu having the most number with 12, followed by Bacolod with 11, Dumaguete with 3, Makati City with 2, and one from each of the following cities: Mandaue, Sta. Maria, Butuan, San Juan, Lapu-Lapu, Iloilo, San Carlos, Parañaque, Cavite, Bago, Talisay, Toldedo, Dapitan, and Pasig”.

Name a city, a city state like Hong Kong and Singapore, a tiny country like Nepal and Brunei Darussalam, even poor Bangladesh, and you can be sure, each of them has a marathon. Why? Because marathon is the biggest tourism event in the world today.
Thus, there are thousands of marathons being staged all over the world the more famous being the Amsterdam, Boston, Berlin, Chicago, Honolulu, London, New York, Paris, Rotterdam and Stockholm Marathons.
In Asia, there are 77 marathons scheduled for this year, with Japan having 24, India (10), Taiwan (7), China (6), Korea (5) Thailand (4) and Malaysia (3). The Singapore marathon, scheduled on Dec 22, has more then 60,000 entries, forcing the organizers to stop further registration.
