The
health and safety of all our runners remains our top priority. Since
our last announcement, the haze has unfortunately reached unhealthy
levels according to the latest monitored alert. Due to the rapidly
deteriorating air quality and on the advice from the medical team, the
Malaysian Athletics Federation (MAF), and the Institut Sukan Negara, we
regret to announce that the Standard Chartered
KL Marathon will be cancelled.
This
decision is further supported by co-organisers, Dewan Bandaraya Kuala
Lumpur, as well as title sponsor, Standard Chartered Bank
Malaysia.
We
appreciate the support shown by our runners throughout this challenging
weather situation. Registered participants are advised to
directly proceed to Dataran Merdeka and present their race bib to
collect their race entitlements from 6.00 am until 12.00 noon, 4th October 2015. For those who are unable to collect their entitlements during this time, alternative arrangements
will be announced through the Standard Chartered KL Marathon social media channels.
Following
the cancellation, route closures and support infrastructure will remain
in place along these roads: Jalan Raja Laut, Jalan
Sultan Ismail, Jalan Raja Chulan, Jalan P. Ramlee, Jalan Ampang, Jalan
Kuching, Jalan Parlimen, Jalan Cenderawasih, Jalan Lembah and Jalan
Sultan Hishamuddin on 4th October 2015, from 6.00 am until 9.00 am.
