Maybank Marathon 2027: Run the Race, Live the Island Dream
Date: August 2027 (official dates dropping soon — stay tuned!) in Bali, Indonesia
Let’s talk about a marathon that doesn’t just challenge your legs — it treats your soul. Welcome to Maybank Marathon 2027, where world-class running meets jaw-dropping landscapes, vibrant culture, and post-race coconuts on the beach.
Yes, this isn’t just any race. It’s Bali + an Elite Label marathon + an unforgettable travel opportunity = a total win for your clients (and for you, if you’re smart enough to package it right).
World-Class Marathon, Island-Style
Held in the heart of beautiful Gianyar, Bali, and organized by Maybank Indonesia, this is no backyard 5K. It’s a World Athletics Elite Label event — which means it's internationally recognized for top-tier race organization, safety, and athlete experience.
Think serious runners chasing records. Think scenic routes through rice terraces, temples, and traditional villages. Think culture, competition, and community — all wrapped up in one tropical, sweat-worthy experience.
For travel professionals? It’s a goldmine.
