Welcome to the 16th edition of the Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon, the multi-award-winning premier distance running event in Malaysia! We are proud to announce that we have a fresh new look for our event logo that better represents diversity and inclusivity. KLSCM has always been about bringing people from all walks of life together to do extraordinary things through the marathon and we hope the running community continues to embrace and support these ideals.
As you all know, we marked our journey towards sustainability by introducing a number of innovations last year that were intended to reduce our environmental impact. We resume that journey this year and the first measure that we are introducing for KLSCM 2024 is making the drawstring bag that contains your race entitlements at REPC optional. And as further encouragement to instil the sustainability spirit, there will be a RM5.00 rebate on your registration fee for those who choose not to take the drawstring bag! We look forward to your continued support in contributing to the success of these initiatives!
There’s nothing like a revitalising Boost Juice to keep you hydrated on the go and thanks to our Gold Sponsor Boost Juice, you will receive a medium-sized Boost Juice for every paid registration, regardless of distance! Terms and conditions apply.
From KLSCM 2024 onwards, only High Performance participants will be eligible for prize money. During registration, you will be given the option of applying to be a High Performance participant. By end March, you will be contacted to show proof that you have achieved the required qualifying time within the qualifying window period from events with a World Athletics International Measurement Certificate. Please click here for information about the entry qualification.
We are also pleased to let you know that we have increased the capacity for KLSCM 2024 so we could potentially welcome the largest number of runners in our history at Dataran Merdeka come 5 and 6 October so don’t miss out on being a part of this significant milestone!
And if you need any more encouragement to sign up, all Standard Chartered Malaysia credit and debit cardholders will receive up to 15% off on all registrations and merchandise! Terms and conditions apply.
As usual, to reward our loyal and fast runners, we will be opening up Priority Registrations on 14 March and to be eligible, you must have taken part in at least eight previous KLSCM events (including the Virtual Runs) regardless of category or recorded the stipulated finishing times in KLSCM 2022 or KLSCM 2023, or other events with a World Athletics International Measurement Certificate from 2022 onwards. Please click here for more information.
Registrations for RFAR will also open on 14 March and ends on 31 July so if you’re keen to do your part in making a difference, you are welcome to contact our charity beneficiaries for your RFAR PIN codes to register your participation. This year, our charity beneficiaries are Standard Chartered’s Futuremakers, Hospis Malaysia, Teach for Malaysia and Kechara Soup Kitchen Society. You can find more information on these charities here.
