About

Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon is making a conscious effort to help raise funds for many of Malaysia’s charities, so we can focus on what we do best -  caring for and serving the less fortunate. 

Our initiative is a community effort and cannot be successful without the support of runners, corporations, media and other organisations. Through this the Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon is taking a step forward to become a true community event and helping the less fortunate across all ages and ethnicities. The target groups include underprivileged people with disabilities and health topics. Your support to these initiatives will help them overcome their challenges and improve their lives.
