About this race
Jakarta's marathon is the flagship race of the world's third-most-populous metropolitan area, staged on the city's superhighways before the notorious traffic resumes. The flat course runs past the National Monument (Monas), along the Semanggi flyover, through the financial corridor of Jalan Sudirman and Jalan Thamrin, and past the colonial Dutch Kota Tua area along the Java Sea waterfront. An early start is essential in Jakarta's tropical climate — temperatures of 26–31°C and 75–85% humidity even at dawn demand thorough heat preparation. October is technically the beginning of the wet season but usually manageable with a morning start. Indonesia's running culture has grown explosively and the field typically exceeds 10,000 participants.
