Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon

It was well organized. Short way from the subway, even tho I walked from my hotel hehe. The route was alright and the medal was decent. Overall a good experience to run Kuala Lumpur.

Nice route and the water stations were good. My First FM

My first FM went well. I’m so happy with my timing 4:11:46

I have joined this event for 5 times and it was consistently well organized with good quality of tshirt running.

The marathon kicks off at 3 AM, and it's well-organized. The course features plenty of undulating terrain, and it gets super humid. However, worry not, as there are numerous water stations spaced between 4 to 5 km apart throughout the course. Getting to the event was a breeze since the LRT was running all night on the event day. The nearest LRT stops, Masjid Jamek (500m) and Pasar Seni (800m), make it convenient to access. I opted to stay at a nearby hotel, ensuring a longer and more restful sleep before the run. If you're interested in a 1 to 2 km warm-up jog to the start line, there are plenty of hotels within a 2 km radius.

Difficult route because of the elevations coupled with a race in October which not very pleasant. (2023 was extremely hot and humid). Moreover the support is average and post run refreshments are really bad. Overall, not a great run for international runners.

Last year the medal design not to my standard. Very simple. Let see This year.

That route more changeling

It was an OK run. Nothing much to see. The streets were not cordoned off although the drivers were somewhat patient.

Excellent organizer with everything properly thought through and catered very well for the huge number of runners as well as visitors. Always vibrant and fun content available around creating beautiful memories for anyone involved in the event. Interesting and dynamic running route with pleasant sights and sufficient supplies provided throughout, only weather a bit hot towards the end.
