Race review
Set for 31 October 2026 at Kuala Terengganu's iconic drawbridge, this JomRun-powered half marathon offers three distances with registration open. An east-coast Malaysian race at one of the country's most distinctive landmarks.
Last updated August 4, 2026
The Terengganu Half Marathon Powered by JomRun brings Malaysia's leading race platform to one of the country's most distinctive venues: the Kuala Terengganu Drawbridge — Southeast Asia's first and only bascule bridge, connecting the city centre to Seberang Takir across the Terengganu River. Three distances (21K, 10K, 5K) with registration open. October on Malaysia's east coast is the tail of the southwest monsoon, generally drier than the November–March northeast monsoon. For runners wanting an east-coast Malaysian half marathon with a landmark start line and JomRun's platform reliability, this is a solid, bookable pick.
Scores summarise sentiment from the participant reviews cited below, not an official rating.
Kuala Terengganu's drawbridge is one of Malaysia's most photographed structures — a bascule bridge that opens to allow boat traffic on the Terengganu River. [1] A start line here gives the race a genuine sense of place that a generic mall or stadium can't match.
