Charity Run for Cataract Jakarta 2026

REGISTRATION PRICE CHECK — 2 November 2026: The organiser originally advertised a 25–28 October flash sale, but its live 5K registration form and individual 2K registration form still display IDR 150,000 as the pre-submission total for each individual entry on 2 November. The main event page also continues to show the same discount. This is a currently displayed checkout amount, not proof that payment can be completed, tickets remain available, or the promotion was formally extended. The organiser's standard individual price is IDR 200,000. Verify the final payable total and registration status before paying. The 14 November event itself has not been announced cancelled or postponed.

Charity Run for Cataract 2026 combines an early-morning run in central Jakarta with a fundraising mission: helping people from disadvantaged communities receive cataract treatment and regain their sight. Organised by Departemen PEG and YAPENDIK, the event brings runners, families, workplaces and community groups together at Plaza Barat in Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) on Saturday 14 November 2026.

Two ways to take part

The competitive 5K, open to men and women, uses race bibs and timing chips. Runners start at 06:00 WIB and have 90 minutes to finish (cut-off 07:30). The 2K fun walk starts at 06:10 WIB, with individual participants and family/community teams of 10–20 people. The team walk includes Best Dress and Line Dance judging; it is a social participation event, not a speed race. Individual 2K walkers have a stated 45-minute cut-off.

The organiser advertises IDR 35 million in combined awards, including top-three prizes for men's and women's 5K and prizes for the group walk's costume and dance contests. Participants must wear their own assigned bib and follow official course marshals' instructions.

Booking clarification (2 November): The organiser's own individual 5K and 2K registration forms display IDR 150,000 pre-submission totals despite the advertised flash sale ending on 28 October. The normal individual price is IDR 200,000; the group 2K price is IDR 50,000 per person for teams of 10–20. A September notice mentioned 30 October as the registration cutoff, but the booking forms remain visible. Do not infer that tickets can still be paid for or that a formal sale extension was granted. Check the final charge and ticket availability with the organiser.

A September organiser announcement placed race-pack collection on 12 November at Wisma GPIB, Central Jakarta; confirm the final pickup schedule and location with the organiser. The event website and the organiser's published participation rules are the authoritative references for latest notices.

Important: separate team-registration form (verified 31 October 2026)

The organiser operates a separate official checkout for 2K Family/Community teams of 10–20 people: 2K team registration. One team leader (PIC) enters the group's details and pays IDR 50,000 per participant; the form calculates the group total and sends the e-ticket/QR code to the PIC's email. Do not use the 5K/individual checkout for this group category. For 5K runners and individual 2K walkers, use the separate links on the event's official category page. The live form being accessible does not prove remaining tickets or an extended registration deadline.

Official competition rules for 14 November (organiser guidance, 28 October 2026)

Competitive 5K: Runners must reach the start area at least 15 minutes before the 06:00 WIB gun. The course closes at 07:30 WIB; participants outside the 90-minute limit are recorded as DNF. Wear your own bib clearly on the front, follow the full marked route and pass the required timing checkpoints. Elite or professional athletes are not eligible for 5K podium places or prize money; the organiser may allow them to participate non-competitively with prior approval. Athletes must disclose their status, and undisclosed professional status can lead to disqualification or withdrawal of a prize. A runner wishing to challenge a provisional result must submit a protest within 30 minutes of its announcement.

2K family/community teams: Every registered team of 10–20 must complete both judging stations, Best Dress and Line Dance, before finishing. The Best Dress presentation is limited to 60 seconds; the Line Dance performance is limited to three minutes and must use the organiser's official recording of “Ambon Manise”. Teams must remain together, cannot substitute members once the event begins and may receive only one winning title across the two competitions. The 2K is judged on creativity, presentation and teamwork, not walking speed. These requirements matter particularly for groups preparing costumes and choreography.

The complete rules and prize eligibility criteria are published by the organising church, GPIB.
