Maybank Marathon Bali

The Maybank Marathon Bali is more than just a race—it’s a world-class running experience infused with the soul of the island. Held every August in Gianyar, Bali, this international event brings together thousands of runners from around the globe to compete in one of the most scenic and culturally vibrant marathons in Southeast Asia. Since its revival in 2012, the Maybank Marathon has grown into a symbol of excellence in Indonesian sport, officially recognized with the World Athletics Elite Label—a mark of global prestige that ensures the event meets the highest standards in race organization, safety, and competitive integrity.

The course winds through lush rice fields, traditional Balinese villages, coastal roads, and sacred temples. It’s a route that challenges the body while soothing the spirit, framed by sunrise skies and cheered on by the warm smiles of local communities. Balinese gamelan music echoes along the course, and dancers in ceremonial dress welcome runners with gestures of grace and joy. This is not just a marathon—it’s a cultural immersion, where every kilometer feels like a conversation between the runner and the island itself.
