Running Clubs and Coaches in Kuala Lumpur

Covers Kuala Lumpur and the wider Klang Valley: Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Bukit Jalil, Mont Kiara/Sri Hartamas, TTDI, and Putrajaya/Cyberjaya. Hash chapters meet at trail sites up to an hour outside the city..

Because of the heat, most Klang Valley club runs happen after dark on weeknights, usually starting between 7:30pm and 9pm, or at dawn at weekends. The regular meeting points are KLCC Park, Sri Hartamas, TTDI, Desa ParkCity, Bukit Jalil and Dataran PHB Saujana, and Bukit Kiara has forest trails close to the city. Nearly all clubs are free to join and post each week's sessions on Instagram or in a WhatsApp group, so check there before your first run.
