Kota Kinabalu’s full route is different from the Borneo Half Marathon
The organizer’s current homepage gives May 7–10, 2026 as the event period and displays sold-out and results information. Those are historical details, not evidence that a new 2027 entry is unavailable or open. A future full-marathon day should come from the next distance-specific announcement rather than the first date in a festival banner.
The route page describes the 42 km course as a tour through Kota Kinabalu’s centre, coast and suburbs. It groups several start times and a broad flat-to-rolling description across distances. Confirm the full marathon’s own map and start time before using those combined summaries for pacing or transport.
The downloadable full-route file is labelled 2025 even though the surrounding site promotes the completed 2026 event. Treat it as older route context until the organizer identifies a current map. Check the next edition’s aid positions, road access and any rerouting, especially if choosing accommodation to reduce race-morning travel.
Kinabalu Running Club also organizes the Borneo Half Marathon with a different February context. Do not copy that event’s date into this full-marathon guide. Until the next full race is announced, build repeatable training and practise suitable road-running equipment; anchor a peak block, taper and travel booking only to the named distance’s confirmed date.
Next edition awaiting confirmation
An exact next-edition date is not confirmed here. A previous race month does not establish a future event. Wait for the organizer’s announcement before setting a taper or booking race-specific travel. Check that the announcement names your distance: an event weekend, registration opening or shorter race can appear before the full programme. Save your entry confirmation separately from a provisional travel plan, and compare an announced alternative if you need a fixed date. Keep the route details below in their stated edition context until the new participant guide is available.
