The bottom line
The CIDB Half Marathon is a community-organised race by Kelab CIDB (Construction Industry Development Board) Kuala Lumpur, held at Dataran Putrajaya — Malaysia's grand administrative capital with its iconic pink mosque, wide boulevards, and lakeside setting. Four distances (21K, 10K, 5K, 3K) and open registration make it accessible and bookable now. Don't expect a slick, large-scale production — the reliability score of 10 reflects the thin digital footprint — but for Putrajaya-based runners or anyone after a low-key race in a stunning government-precinct setting, it's a solid local option.
The Venue: Dataran Putrajaya
Dataran Putrajaya is the ceremonial square of Malaysia's federal administrative capital — a vast open plaza surrounded by the Putra Mosque, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Putrajaya Lake. [1] For a road race, it provides a grand start/finish precinct with space for a race village, and the surrounding boulevards are wide, smooth, and designed for ceremonial processions — meaning a flat, fast course.
