The All-Women Ultra Marathon (AWUM) is an endurance race which is held each year in Cebu City, Philippines. As of 2013, it is the only ultra marathon which is designed especially for women.
The All-Women Ultra Marathon is planned to coincide with the annual International Women's Day in March, and usually starts at 10 p.m. on the Saturday nearest to that day.
The race is organized by the Thinktank ultra marathoners group. The aid stations at the race are sponsored and operated by volunteers from several running clubs in the area.
