Last updated August 4, 2026
Pocari Sweat Run Indonesia Bandung brings Japan's iconic sports drink brand to West Java's highland capital. Two distances (21K, 10K) with registration open. Bandung's elevation (roughly 700m) means cooler temperatures than Jakarta or Surabaya — a genuine climate advantage for an Indonesian road race. The Pocari Sweat brand association means well-stocked hydration stations (predictably) and professionally produced race merchandise. September in Bandung is the tail of the dry season. A solid, brand-backed West Java half marathon.
