Before the city fully wakes, Pasay surrenders its streets to something older than traffic — the act of running together. From 1:30 in the morning until 7 a.m. on March 1, 2026, major arteries across Pasay City will close to make way for the National Milo Marathon, one of the country's most enduring mass-participation traditions. The temporary yielding of urban infrastructure to human movement is a quiet reminder that cities are built, ultimately, for people — not vehicles.

Consumers and commuters will experience traffic delays and longer travel times on Sunday morning (1:30-7 a.m.) in Pasay City. Delivery services, ride-sharing, and businesses dependent on early morning operations may face increased costs. However, the early morning timing (1:30 a.m. start) minimizes impact on typical business hours and weekend activities.
Event organizers and local government continue coordinating road closures for public sporting events, suggesting established protocols for balancing community engagement with traffic management. May prompt discussions on optimizing event scheduling, alternative route infrastructure, or compensation mechanisms for affected businesses.
