About the Jakarta Half Marathon
The Jakarta Running Festival splits its biggest distances across two mornings, with the half taking the earlier race day. The field is open to local and international runners, and the event treats the half as a headline race with separate awards and timing.
Course
The 21.097K road race starts at the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex at 4:30 a.m. The route uses central Jakarta roads and allows 3:45 from the gun, a more forgiving limit than the next morning's marathon. A predawn start is central to managing the city's heat and traffic.
Race-day weather
Jakarta stays hot and humid throughout the year, even before sunrise. The first hour offers the best chance of manageable conditions, but sweat loss builds quickly and tropical rain can make the road slick without cooling the air much.
