The Course: Suburban Boulevards Round ICE BSD
The 2026 race started and finished at the Hall 10 car park of ICE BSD, the convention centre in BSD City, Tangerang [1]; the venue's own listing put the event at its Outdoor Plaza B-C [2]. The organiser measured the courses with Garmin devices at 21.12 km for the half marathon, 10.14 km for the 10 km and 5.04 km for the 5 km, and says it will not accept complaints based on runners' own phones or GPS watches [1].
The route maps on the 2026 race site are still headed 2025 [3]. On the half-marathon map the start is on Jl. BSD Grand Boulevard beside ICE. The course follows that boulevard past 1 km, zigzags through side streets to the far corner of the course at about 5 km, then runs up Jl. BSD Raya Pusat, across Jl. Raya Pagedangan, to 10 km at Jl. BSD Boulevard Utara. The second half is a loop through the streets of Bumi Botanika, past the 15 km marker on Jl. BSD Boulevard Utara and the IPEKA BSD school, before it comes back past Jl. Majorie Ave at 20 km to the finish [3].
The 10 km uses the same roads without the zigzag and the Bumi Botanika loop [3]. Garmin publishes no elevation profile. detikINET's report on the race launch called the BSD course relatively flat and said runners often choose the race to chase a personal best [4].
The Weather: 26°C and Humid Before Dawn
Soekarno-Hatta airport, about 20 km north of ICE BSD, recorded 26°C at 4.30am and 5am on race morning, with a dew point of 23°C, 84% humidity and 2 to 4 knots of wind [5]. It stayed at 26°C until 6.30am. From 7am the airport reported haze, and the temperature rose to 28°C at 7.30am and 29°C, with 75% humidity, at 8am and 8.30am, around the time the half marathon closed [5].
A dew point of 23°C means humid air in which sweat evaporates slowly, so a flat course will feel harder than it looks. A 1:45 half marathoner finished around 6.30am in 26°C air; a runner near the 3 hour 30 limit finished after 8am at 29°C, in haze. The half-marathon map marks one water sprinkler, just before 15 km [3].
Aid Stations, Cut-offs and Start Rules
The half marathon had seven water stations, at 2.7, 5.7, 8.8, 11.81, 14.48, 16.97 and 19 km, each with a medical post; the 10 km had three and the 5 km one [1]. The rules list water, isotonic drink and fruit among the refreshments, without saying which stations carry which [1].
The cut-offs were 3 hours 30 minutes for the half marathon, 2 hours for the 10 km and 1 hour for the 5 km [1], so the half closed at about 8.15am. Runners outside the limit are recorded as DNF and do not get a finisher medal [6]. The start also closes: 10 minutes after the 4.45am half-marathon gun. Late half marathoners could only start with the 10 km at 5.20am, and a 5 km runner who missed their start was counted as a non-starter [1].
The rules ban noise-cancelling earphones and recommend open-ear audio instead. Strollers are allowed in every race, and so are the mobility aids used by disabled runners [1].
How Fast the Field Is
Garmin put the 2026 field at 8,000 runners, its biggest since the first Indonesian race in 2022 [7]. Podium places and prizes are open only to Indonesian citizens; foreign runners appear in the official results but cannot place [1].
Immanuel Hutasoit won the men's half marathon in 1:12:54, 16 seconds ahead of Sardianus Sanam, with Agus Prayogo a second further back in 1:13:11. Desi Kristiani won the women's race in 1:27:50 from Gladys Fabiola Christanto in 1:28:17 and Anjellika Br Ginting in 1:33:43 [7][8]. The 10 km was won by Iqbal Saputra in 32:06 and Novia Nur Nirwani in 38:57, and the 5 km by Juan Meliala in 15:50 [7].
Both half-marathon winning times were faster than in 2025, when Rikki Simbolon and Hutasoit finished together in 1:14:26 and Marhaendrassiwi D. Palupi won the women's race in 1:32:38 [9]. Garmin has published only the top three in each race for 2026; full results were not on a public page when this was written.
At the other end of the field, Garmin ambassador Anggi Wahyuda, a disabled mountaineer running a first half marathon, finished in 3 hours 10 minutes, about 20 minutes inside the limit [7][10].
Race Weekend Logistics
Race packs were collected on Friday 18 September from 10am to 8pm and Saturday 19 September from 10am to 5pm at Epiwalk mall in the Rasuna Epicentrum complex on Jl. HR Rasuna Said, Jakarta, not at the BSD venue [1][11]. Someone else can collect for you with a signed letter of authority and your confirmation email, up to five packs per person [1].
Entry cost Rp735,000 for the half marathon, Rp519,000 for the 10 km, Rp425,000 for the 5 km and Rp220,000 for the 500 m kids' dash [1]. Entries cannot be refunded, transferred or switched to another distance [1][6]. Every entrant gets a race tee and a finisher medal if inside the limit; 10 km and half-marathon runners also get an e-certificate, and half-marathon finishers a finisher tee [6]. Bags can be left from 3.30am to 10am, and the organiser advises arriving an hour before your start [1][6].
Neither the rules nor the FAQ mention a race shuttle. ICE's own directions put the venue about 35 minutes by car from Soekarno-Hatta airport in normal traffic, and five minutes by the BSD Link shuttle or ride-hailing from Cisauk station on the Rangkasbitung commuter line [2].
Should You Enter the 2027 Race?
Yes, if you want a well-organised half marathon or 10 km close to Jakarta, with a 3 hour 30 limit, water about every 3 km and a quick national-level front. It also suits families: strollers are allowed in every race and there is a 500 m kids' dash [1].
Think twice if you want a full marathon, which Garmin says it is not adding yet, for safety reasons [4], or if you race badly in humid air: at the 2026 start it was already 26°C with a dew point of 23°C [5].
The 2027 date, entry fees and route had not been published when this was written. Check the route map when it appears, since the one posted for 2026 was the 2025 version [3].
Nobody from this site ran the race. This review draws on the organiser's rules, FAQ and route maps, Garmin's post-race results, airport weather records, the 2025 results, and Indonesian and English-language press reports.
