JAKARTA - The Jakarta International Marathon 2025 (JAKIM) session was held on Sunday, June 29 by registering 31 thousand participants. This number has increased significantly compared to last year's event.
Of the previous 15 thousand participants, this record also succeeded in breaking the 2025 Jakarta International Marathon. This was appreciated by the Governor of Jakarta, Pramono Anung.
This year the number of participants is more than 31,000 people. This is extraordinary and broke the record. The proudest thing is that the full marathon participants reached 4,000 people. In fact, this year's JAKIM recorded the highest number of foreign participants, namely 631 runners from 51 countries," said Pramono, quoted on Sunday, June 29.
Held as a form of excitement in the 498th anniversary of Jakarta, Pramono hopes that this event can also strengthen the image of the capital city as a world-class sports tourism destination.
In addition, he wants Jakarta to be increasingly known as an inclusive and character city, especially in displaying its tourism attraction in the international arena. Pramono also announced his appreciation following the success of the event which was held from the Monas area and ended up in the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) complex.
"We give our appreciation to BTN (main organizers) and the committee who has organized this activity. Hopefully, the implementation will run smoothly and successfully," said Pramono.
At this year's event, the Jakarta International Marathon presents three competition categories, namely 10K, Half Marathon, and Full Marathon.
