Gianyar, Indonesia · Last updated August 9, 2026
The bottom line
The Maybank Marathon is Indonesia's premier full marathon — a World Athletics-labeled race backed by one of Southeast Asia's largest banks, held at the Bali United Training Center in Gianyar. The course is flat and fast, routed through Bali's cultural heartland with rice-paddy views and temple backdrops. Registration has already closed — a testament to its popularity and the depth of Indonesia's running community. August in Bali is the dry season, offering relatively predictable conditions. For those who secured a spot: expect a professionally-produced, internationally-calibrated race. For those who didn't: target the 2027 edition early.
Bali's Premier Marathon
The Maybank Marathon is widely considered Indonesia's best-organized road race — a World Athletics-labeled event that draws an international field to Gianyar, Bali's cultural heartland. [1] The course is predominantly flat with Bali's iconic rice terraces and temple compounds as backdrop. August is peak dry season — morning temperatures in the mid-20s, relatively low humidity.
Sold Out
Registration is closed. [1] The Maybank Marathon typically sells out within hours of opening — a reflection of both the race's quality and Bali's enduring appeal as a destination. If you missed the 2026 window, set a calendar alert for the 2027 registration opening.
