JAKARTA - PT PLN (Persero) again collaborates with Harian Kompas to hold the PLN Electric Run 2026. This very prestigious running race provides a total prize of IDR 1 billion with a target of attracting 8,000 participants.
PLN Electric Run 2026 was officially launched at the PLN Headquarters, Jakarta, on Friday, July 24, 2026. The launch was attended by the board of directors of PT PLN (Persero), Harian Kompas, the General Manager of the Indonesian All-Indonesia Athletic Association (PB PASI), PLN Group, Rekosistem, and national athlete Agus Prayogo.
Agus said that he was very enthusiastic about welcoming the PLN Electric Run because the spirit of the race brought the issue of reducing carbon emissions. He said that there were not many running events that brought this kind of spirit.
"My hope is that it will not only be enthusiastic, but also can be realized. In addition to routes that are already labeled, then later the runners will realize that every step will be part of a greener lifestyle," he said in a press conference in Jakarta.
In this year's event, PLN Electric Run invites the public to run while carrying the spirit of change towards a greener future through the theme "Powering Our Green Future".
The theme represents the synergy between a healthy lifestyle and concern for the environment, in line with the increasing awareness of the Indonesian people about the importance of health and sustainability.
Agus said that the PLN Electric Run is a running event that should not be missed by running sports fans, especially this year the event has applied for World Athletic Label certification for the half marathon category.
"My hope is that this year the event will be even better. In addition to the route, there are also water stations which are indeed one of the important needs for runners and no less important is the availability of medical teams along the route," he said.
In addition to applying for World Athletics Label certification for the half marathon category, PLN Electric Run 2026 also still presents the 5K and 10K categories so that the event can be attended by various people who want to take part.
Director of Retail and Commerce of PT PLN (Persero), M. Fahrur Rozy, said that the PLN Electric Run 2026 was held as a way for his party to build a movement that invites the public to take part in the journey towards a greener Indonesia.
"Hopefully this event will not only be an agenda that runners are looking forward to, but also a symbol of collaboration in building a cleaner, greener, and sustainable future for Indonesia," he said.
PLN Electric Run 2026 is scheduled to take place on November 8, 2026 at ICE BSD, Tangerang, Banten. The event is targeted to have an impact on reducing carbon emissions by 24,780 kg CO₂.
In addition, there are other contributions through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program by providing assistance and empowerment to female workers to create more environmentally friendly quality while improving their welfare.
Deputy Chairman of the PB PASI, Tigor Tanjung, conveyed full support for the preparation of the route chosen to encourage the PLN Electric Run 2026 to become one of the competitive races with standards in Indonesia.
"We carry the mandate from World Athletics that through athletic sports, we have access to the community to improve public health. So, we really appreciate what PLN has done," he said.
To present a more interesting experience for participants, PLN Icon Plus has also developed a digital ecosystem to make the registration process easier, more comfortable, and provide more experience for customers.
