The Tawid Lake Balanan Trail Run is an annual, eco-tourism sports event hosted at the scenic Lake Balanan in Siaton, Negros Oriental. Trail Run for a Cause, this event channels its proceeds to help local learners and teachers of Managobsob Elementary School purchase bangka (boats) for their daily school and work commutes.

The race challenges runners across pristine, heavily forested terrains while highlighting the natural beauty of the southern Negros mountain ranges.

The race begins and ends at Lake Balanan, a stunning freshwater lake uniquely shaped like a figure-eight. Runners traverse a mix of forested mountains, river paths, open plains, and paths overlooking majestic waterfalls like the Lamarao and Balanan Creeks.
