The Jakarta Marathon is a marathon held annually in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia in Southeast Asia, since 2013. The marathon is organised by the tourism ministry of Government of Indonesia, and is recognised by Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS)[1] and International Athletic Association Federation (IAAF).[2]
The Jakarta Marathon is aimed to project Jakarta as a "world class" tourist destination, especially in sport tourism, and is regarded as the "biggest running event of Indonesia".[3][4][5]
