Isekai Run Vol.4 Jakarta 2026: The Mysterious Forbidden Desert

Isekai Run Vol.4: The Mysterious Forbidden Desert brings its running-and-cosplay adventure to Pantai Lagoon at Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, North Jakarta, on Sunday 20 December 2026. The fourth edition combines an accessible coastal fun run with Japanese pop-culture entertainment, character costumes and festival activities. Participants can choose a 3K fun-run experience, including adult, child and family entry options, or a 5K adult run.

Event experience

• The event is designed as a themed recreational run rather than a conventional timed road-racing championship. Dress comfortably, and keep any cosplay accessories safe for running, fellow participants and route marshals.
• Announced accompanying activities include cosplay/coswalk appearances, music, a DJ, Zumba, quizzes, refreshments and prize opportunities. Festival activities and prize allocations may be subject to the final organiser programme.
• The venue is Pantai Lagoon, inside the Ancol coastal recreation precinct. Allow time to reach the beach from the main entrance; the Ancol complex is large.

Prize information reported on 3 November 2026

Two reports quoting the Ancol organiser's latest event announcement advertise a combined pool worth more than IDR 20 million for door prizes and cosplay-competition prizes. This is an event-wide promotional total, not a cash-prize guarantee for any runner or a published distance-category prize schedule. Award breakdown, winner eligibility and distribution have not been independently confirmed; check the organiser's latest terms.

Tickets and participation

• The organiser's listed standard prices are IDR 250,000 for 3K adult, IDR 200,000 for 3K child (ages 2 to 10), IDR 450,000 for a 3K family package (one adult plus one child) and IDR 300,000 for 5K adult. Promotional and group allocations can be lower and may sell out without notice.
• Advertised group rates for communities of at least ten people are IDR 200,000 per person for 3K and IDR 250,000 for 5K; confirm the requirements and availability at checkout.
• The organiser's ticket information includes event-day pedestrian admission through the Ancol main gate and entry to Jakarta Bird Land with eligible packages. Vehicle-entry fees are not included. Follow the actual checkout inclusions for your ticket type.
• Tickets are offered through the organiser's Ancol ticketing website. Availability and any cut-off date should be checked directly; no fixed registration closing date is independently confirmed.

Additional ticket-seller check (5 November 2026): Anievo Calendar's event-specific Isekai Run Vol.4 booking listing shows Buy Ticket options for the 3K adult, 3K family and 5K adult categories and labels ticket sales “Penjualan s.d. 19 Desember 2026” (sales through 19 December 2026). This is Anievo's advertised sales cut-off, not an independently verified organiser-wide deadline or evidence that any category can still complete payment. The seller also describes Pantai Lagoon as the venue and 20 December as the race date. Confirm the chosen category and current checkout stock with Ancol before paying.

Reseller availability discrepancy — checked 2 November 2026: Search-indexed Traveloka storefront displays are inconsistent by country/language for this exact 20 December event: the English Indonesia listing displays selectable early-bird 3K, 5K and family ticket options, while the Malay Malaysia listing shows sold out. These are indexed storefront views, not a verified live checkout or proof that a specific fare remains purchasable; cached information and country-specific availability can differ. The organiser's direct Ancol ticketing page has not been independently verified for live inventory. Do not assume the entire event is either sold out or open based on a single reseller display; check the official channel and your actual purchase confirmation before travelling.

Additional reseller cross-check, 2 November 2026: redBus's current Isekai Run 2026 listing displays selectable 3K adult/family and 5K adult ticket options, with prices shown in Singapore dollars, whereas Traveloka labels its own allocation sold out. This is a platform-specific display, not a confirmed successful purchase, verification of authorised seller inventory, or proof that the organiser's direct Ancol allocation remains open. Importantly, redBus's 2026 event description calls the shorter race 2.5K while its ticket option is labelled 3K, independently reproducing the unresolved short-course inconsistency. Participants should confirm their booked category and exact measured route directly with Ancol before paying or making travel plans.

Ticketing-source discrepancy to confirm before race day

A current Traveloka reseller ticket listing for this same 20 December 2026 Isekai Run describes the short course as 2.5K in parts of its terms, even though its own ticket names and the organiser-led event listing use 3K. The reseller also names an Atlantis Ancol staging area, whereas the event's advertised main location is Pantai Lagoon, Ancol. These details have not been reconciled by an explicit organiser route/start-gate notice. ARC retains the advertised 3K/5K distances and Pantai Lagoon event location provisionally, but runners should verify their purchased ticket's course length and the exact gathering/start point with PT Taman Impian Jaya Ancol before travelling.

Important schedule information

The 3K and 5K flag-off times have not been confirmed in available current-edition event instructions. The calendar's midnight date marker is not an official race start. Consult the organiser's race-day instructions before travelling. Race-pack collection place and times, final course maps and check-in requirements have not been independently established.

Before attending

The venue is at Jl. Lodan Timur No. 7, Pademangan, Jakarta Utara. Public transport serves the Ancol entrance; allow additional time to get to the actual assembly area. Check the organiser's official updates for weather arrangements, access restrictions and any revised instructions. The map pin refers to the wider Ancol recreation precinct, not a surveyed start-line position.

Important conditions for Traveloka purchasers

Traveloka's 2026 ticket terms, not necessarily every ticket seller's rules, require visitors to present the original e-ticket voucher and valid identity document at the Ancol entrance; a payment receipt alone is not accepted as entry. Traveloka says its tickets are non-refundable, non-transferable and not reschedulable, and that vehicle admission must be bought separately. Under that seller's stated eligibility rules, child entrants aged 2–10 must be accompanied by someone at least 16, and its ticket information says international participants need a valid KITAS. These conditions apply to the cited Traveloka product and should not be assumed universal across Ancol's direct booking channels. Foreign visitors and families should check the conditions for their specific ticket type before purchasing.
