Course & Elevation
The Maybank Marathon, also known as the Bali Marathon, is an annual road marathon in Gianyar Regency, Bali, organised by Maybank Indonesia since 2012 and held in late August. The 2026 edition, the 15th, took place on Sunday 23 August, with the start and finish at the Bali United Training Center in Sukawati, Gianyar. The marathon set off at 04:30 local time, ahead of the half marathon at 05:30 and the 10K at 06:00, and the programme also includes a wheelchair race and a children's sprint. The route begins on the I.B. Mantra bypass and then runs through the countryside of Gianyar, where reports on the 2026 race describe climbs. The event is Indonesia's first World Athletics Elite Label Road Race, a status it has held since 2020. In 2026 it had 14,100 participants from 46 countries across all distances. Places are allocated by a registration draw, and the public registration window for 2026 ran from 9 to 22 February. The course records are 2:15:04 for men and 2:31:04 for women, set in 2023 by Geoffrey Kiprotich Birgen and Sophy Jepchirchir of Kenya, when the start and finish were at Bali Safari & Marine Park. The organisers say the race will return to Bali in 2027, with the date to be announced in January 2027.
