The bottom line
The Merumatta Half Marathon is a Lombok road race with teeth: 390m of elevation gain across its 21.1K course, starting and finishing at the Merumatta Hotel on Senggigi's coastal strip. That elevation — roughly double what most 'flat' half marathons accumulate — makes this a genuine hill workout with Lombok's volcanic landscape providing the backdrop. Four distances (21K, 10K, 5K, 2.5K) with registration open. October in Lombok is the tail of the dry season, with warm but manageable conditions. For runners wanting an Indonesian half marathon with real terrain in a stunning island setting, this is a standout.
Lombok: Bali's Wilder Neighbour
Senggigi is Lombok's original resort strip — a coastal road with views across the Lombok Strait to Bali's Mount Agung. [1] The 390m elevation gain across 21.1K means this is a runners' half marathon, not a sightseeing jog. Merumatta Hotel provides a resort-based race hub with beachfront recovery options.
