Race guide

Kuala Lumpur half-marathon arrival and category checks

The completed October 4, 2026 ASICS Half Marathon started at 04:45 from Dataran Merdeka, after the full marathon’s 03:30 start. These are previous-edition times, not a 2027 schedule. When the next date is announced, plan transport, breakfast and entry to the assigned start pen around the half marathon’s own instructions. Do not copy the full-marathon arrival time or Saturday’s 10 km programme.

The published rules assign start pens through the bib or wristband and distinguish the half-marathon entry from the full. Confirm any category change through the organizer before race day. Save the current participant guide and collection details offline; the next route, support stations and access arrangements may differ from the completed edition.
