Groovy Run Semarang 2026: City Action x Paradise

Groovy Run 2026 is the running centrepiece of the DIPOCITION 2026 City Action x Paradise celebration, organised by students from Diponegoro University's urban and regional planning programme. The Saturday-morning event combines a 5K community run with music, art and a marketplace at Semarang City Hall on Jalan Pemuda. It aims to bring runners, students and creative communities together rather than operating as a conventional distance-running championship.

Race day and festival programme

The advertised event programme begins with a 04:30–05:15 WIB gate-opening window, followed by a 06:00 WIB 5K flag-off. The public event extends into the morning, with its broader published programme finishing around 10:50 WIB. Organiser-advertised activities include a music stage, art exhibition, community bazaar and band auditions. One stated environmental initiative is the contribution of a tree seedling for each entry, in cooperation with local environmental partners.

The 5K is advertised with a 90-minute cut-off. Standard race support includes water stations and refreshments, with medical support described by the event information providers. Participants are advised to confirm the precise course, assembly point, parking arrangements and any traffic restrictions with the organiser before travelling to the city-centre venue.
