Run for Palestine 5K+ Mubeng Benteng Yogyakarta 2026

Run for Palestine: 5K+ Mubeng Benteng Yogyakarta 2026 is a community running and solidarity event planned for Sunday, 25 October 2026, with runners gathering at Titik Nol Kilometer, the Zero Kilometre landmark in central Yogyakarta. Organised by Forum Ukhuwah Islamiyah (FUI) DIY, it combines a recreational morning run with the group's stated aim of expressing humanitarian concern for people in Palestine.

Running around the historic city

The advertised start is 06:00 WIB. Organisers call the route 5K+ Mubeng Benteng, which roughly translates as a run around the fortress area. The 5K+ notation suggests a course of about five kilometres or slightly more; an independently measured course length and official route map were not provided in the accessible announcement. Entrants should follow the final organiser instructions rather than treating this as a certified 5,000-metre road race.

The gathering point is the Zero Kilometre junction (Titik Nol Kilometer) at the southern end of the Malioboro heritage district, near Fort Vredeburg and several historic civic buildings. This central urban location can be busy, so participants should allow time to reach the assembly area, particularly if roads are temporarily restricted.

Registration packages

The organiser advertises two participation packages, using the same running route:

• IDR 10,000: a keyring (ganci), refreshments and event documentation.
• IDR 100,000: a keyring, refreshments, event jersey and documentation.

Both packages were confirmed in FUI DIY's organiser post dated 14 October 2026. The deadline specifically advertised for the jersey option is 18 October 2026; the organisers have not confirmed that the basic entry closes on the same day. Entrants should therefore check availability on the official sign-up form.

Important participant information

This is promoted as a participation and awareness event, not an elite race with a confirmed timing-chip service, finishing-time awards or standard finisher medal. None of those benefits was promised in the available organiser announcement. Contact persons Lula and Jay are listed for enquiries about entry, registration and practical arrangements. Runners should also confirm the final assembly instructions, any race-pack collection arrangements and their chosen package before attending.
