Sangatta City Run 5K 2026 - East Kutai

Sangatta City Run 5K 2026 is a free community road-running event scheduled for Saturday 14 November 2026 at Lapangan Helipad Bukit Pelangi, Sangatta Utara, in East Kutai, East Kalimantan. The organiser's official 22 October announcement confirms the date, assembly venue and complimentary runner support. An official 25 October sponsor announcement explicitly calls the event Sangatta City Run 5K, confirming the distance for the current edition.

Free places and runner entitlements

The organiser advertises free participation, 1,000 medals, 500 complimentary jerseys and on-site hydration and refreshments. These numbers describe the organiser's advertised stock, not a guarantee that every entrant receives a jersey or that medals will remain available to latecomers. The precise allocation rules have not yet been published in the accessible original announcements, so participants should confirm their eligibility and collection arrangements with @sangattacityrun.

The event is intended to bring the local running community together, rather than to offer a confirmed certified or professionally timed 5K course. Its route map, surface, timing arrangements, age restrictions, cut-off and any prizes have not been confirmed. It would be misleading to invent a course or guaranteed event inclusions based only on sponsorship publicity.

Registration and race morning

The announced location is Helipad Bukit Pelangi, within Sangatta's Bukit Pelangi government-office precinct. The map marker represents the general area and not a surveyed race start. The advertised date is confirmed, but the individual flag-off time is not: the calendar therefore displays Time TBA.

Official messages indicate that participation slots are being released in stages. There is no independently confirmed live checkout URL, absolute registration deadline, age eligibility, deadline to collect jerseys, bib-collection date or exact race-day programme at present. Do not assume places remain available merely because an earlier poster said registration would open. Check the organiser's latest verified announcements before travelling, and follow any subsequent venue, start-time or course instructions it publishes.

Official evidence: 22 October event announcement and 25 October 5K sponsor confirmation.
