JAKARTA - Garmin Indonesia officially announced the implementation of the Garmin Run Marathon Series Indonesia 2026 which will take place on Sunday, September 20, 2026, in the ICE BSD area.
Entering its fifth year of implementation, this running event presents the biggest evolution in the history of Garmin Run Indonesia with the philosophy of "From Zero to Hero".
The theme depicts the journey of each runner in developing their abilities, from the first step to being able to achieve the best performance.
In line with this spirit, Garmin Run this year also experienced an increase in status from the Asia Series regional event to become part of the Garmin Run Marathon Series, a larger platform for the running community.
As part of the transformation, Garmin targets the participation of 8 thousand runners, making it the largest event since it was first held in Indonesia.
According to Rian Krisna as Marketing Communications Manager of Garmin Indonesia, the philosophy of "From Zero to Hero" is the main foundation in the organization of the Garmin Run this year.
"The philosophy of 'From Zero to Hero' is the main spirit of Garmin Run 2026. We believe that every runner has their own progress journey. Garmin Run is here to celebrate each process."
"In line with this, Garmin Run is also continuing to grow, from a regional event to being part of the Garmin Run Marathon Series," said Rian at a press conference in Senayan, Jakarta, on Thursday, June 25, 2026.
He added that the increase in the quota to 8 thousand participants was a form of Garmin's commitment to presenting a bigger, safer, and competitive stage for runners.
To accommodate the various levels of participant ability, the Garmin Run Marathon Series Indonesia 2026 will present four race categories, namely 5K, 10K, half marathon, and kids dash.
All categories will cross the route located in the ICE BSD area with track management designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and competitive running experience for all participants.
In addition to presenting running competitions, Garmin also encourages participants to use technology to support the training process.
Through the Garmin smartwatch ecosystem and the Garmin Training Plan feature, runners can monitor a variety of health and fitness metrics, including training readiness, recovery, and training progress in a more measurable way.
The increase in the scale of the event was also accompanied by an increase in the standard operating procedures of the event.
Representative of DND Sports Management, Didit Santoso, ensured that all aspects of the implementation were prepared thoroughly to ensure the comfort of participants.
"With the increased scale of Garmin Run Indonesia 2026, the standards for implementation are also continuously improved to ensure a safe, organized, and comfortable race experience for all participants," said Didit.
With the upgrade to being part of the Garmin Run Marathon Series and the participation target of 8 thousand runners, Garmin Run Indonesia 2026 is projected to be one of the largest running events in the country as well as a platform for runners to celebrate their journey to the best performance.
