An estimated number of 30,000 local and international marathon enthusiasts will be flooding Malaysia’s longest and busiest bridge, the iconic Penang Bridge this year on the 20th November 2011 for this unique and unforgettable run.
During the early days in 1984, the marathon was to run in town, not across the bridge. After the completion of Penang Bridge in 1985, the race then shifted to run across the Penang Bridge and since then the annual Penang Bridge International Marathon has become Penang’s signature event which brings runners from all over the world, be it amateur or professional to our beautiful island. The marathon is truly unique as is held after midnight and it is the only time of the year where the bridge is completely closed from traffic. Runners will have a chance to experience the beautiful sights of Penang Island safely throughout the routes and on the bridge during the break of dawn.
The public especially tourist agents, airline services and hoteliers are reminded that the bridge will be completely closed from 1.00am to 10.00am on the 20th November.
The categories for the run this year are a full marathon, a half marathon, a 10k marathon and a fun run opened to those above the age of 13. Full marathon category is opened to men and women above the age of 18 with a choice of open or veteran category. For half marathon, it is opened to men and women above the age of 18; while 10k marathon is divided into open (aged 18 and above) and junior (aged 13 and above) categories. The full marathon will be flagged off at 2.00 am.
Full, half and 10k marathons are competitive and will be timed. For competitive runs, running vest, bib, finishers’ medal and certificate will be given. For runners who would like to just try out and have fun, they can join the 10km Fun Run. This category will not be timed and runners will receive t-shirts.
