The Brunei Half Marathon 2026 is one of only a handful of road races in Brunei — and with registration open across three distances (21K, 10K, 5K), it's actually bookable. The SHOAS Bridge venue in Bandar Seri Begawan provides a landmark course feature, and the November date catches the tail of the inter-monsoon period. For country-tick collectors and runners wanting a half marathon in one of Southeast Asia's most under-visited nations, this is a compelling — and rare — option.
