A GPS-Watch Brand's Signature Race
The Indonesia leg of the Garmin Run Asia Series offers 21.1K, 10K and 5K distances at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) in BSD City. [1] Garmin is one of the most recognised GPS sports-watch brands globally, and races bearing its name typically lean into that identity -- expect device demos, data-driven pacing features, and a crowd that skews toward gear-conscious runners.
BSD City: A Major Planned Township
BSD City -- formerly Bumi Serpong Damai -- is a planned community within Greater Jakarta, initiated in 1984 and developed primarily by Sinar Mas Land. [2] It spans roughly 6,000 hectares and is home to approximately 500,000 people, blending residential, commercial and recreational areas in what was originally rubber-plantation land in South Tangerang. That scale gives the race a purpose-built venue with modern road infrastructure, parking, and exhibition-centre facilities.
ICE as an Event Hub
The Indonesia Convention Exhibition center at BSD City is one of Greater Jakarta's largest MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions) venues, regularly hosting large-scale expos and events. [1] Using it as a race hub gives organisers ready-made staging, registration, and post-race amenity space -- a practical choice for a brand activation event of this kind.
Registration Not Yet Announced
As of this writing, registration status for this event has not been announced. [1] Given Garmin's brand reach, demand could move quickly once sign-ups open, so it's worth watching official channels closely rather than waiting for a general announcement.
Should You Run It?
If a tech-brand-backed race with strong venue infrastructure in one of Greater Jakarta's major planned communities appeals -- especially if you're already invested in Garmin's running ecosystem -- the Indonesia leg on 20 September 2026 is worth tracking closely.
