Puchong: KL Southern Suburb
Puchong is one of the Klang Valley most populous suburbs, with a large running community and easy access from KL and Petaling Jaya via the LDP and KESAS highways. AEON BiG Puchong Utama, the race venue, is a mall-anchored retail location providing ample parking, pre-race shelter, and post-race food options. For Klang Valley runners, this is one of the most logistically accessible race venues in Selangor [1][2].
JomRun Platform and Registration
Three distances (21K, 10K, 5K) cover the full running spectrum. JomRun registration infrastructure means online sign-up, digital payment, and clear entitlement breakdowns. Pricing was not prominently published but JomRun half marathons in this tier typically range from MYR 65-90 [1].
The Course: AEON BiG to Puchong Roads
The course starts and finishes at AEON BiG Puchong Utama, extending onto the municipal roads of Puchong. Puchong road network is a mix of wide arterial roads and residential streets. The terrain is gently rolling rather than pancake-flat. Traffic on a Sunday morning in Puchong is moderate but manageable, and the AEON BiG venue provides parking, toilets, and shelter that a standalone road start cannot match [1].
October in Selangor: Inter-Monsoon
October sits in the inter-monsoon window between the southwest and northeast monsoons. Expect morning temperatures of 25-28C with humidity around 80-85 percent, climbing toward 31C by late morning. Afternoon thunderstorms are common but rarely affect a morning half-marathon start. The flat-to-rolling terrain and October climate combine for reasonable racing conditions [3].
Race-Day and Post-Race at AEON BiG
Race-kit collection is likely at AEON BiG Puchong Utama itself, eliminating the common frustration of travelling to a separate expo venue. The mall-anchored finish area means post-race food, air-conditioned recovery, and parking are all within walking distance. This is a practical, logistics-first event rather than a festival-style race [1].
Should You Run It?
If you are a Klang Valley-based runner who wants a convenient, accessible half marathon with JomRun reliable registration, the Puchong Half Marathon is a solid, bookable pick for 25 October 2026. The AEON BiG venue handles logistics that other venues struggle with, and the open registration window means you can book now. Register through JomRun while the window remains open [1].
