The LPS Monas Half Marathon race is an event organized by the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) in collaboration with Harian Kompas.
Just from its name, participants in the LPS Monas Half Marathon will be challenged to cover a distance of 21.095 kilometers within a time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes.
Not only to enliven the running activities in Jakarta, but the presence of the LPS Monas Half Marathon is also expected to become a new icon in the capital’s running scene. All security and safety facilities have been prepared to overcome the main challenge of organizing a running competition in Jakarta, which is traffic density.
At its peak event, the LPS Monas Half Marathon 2024 will invite 5,000 runners to run and compete on a half marathon route with a point-to-point concept from the National Monument (Monas) area and ending in the GBK Istora area, while passing through historical sites in Jakarta.
The presence of the LPS Monas Half Marathon is expected to demonstrate that Jakarta is friendly towards running sports. Support from Jakarta residents and the DKI Provincial Government can show that Jakarta is a comfortable place for running. Didik Madiyono from the Board of Commissioners for Deposit Insurance and Resolution Programs at LPS assesses that running has become a trend and is favored by the wider community. This momentum is also utilized by them to convey information about the role and function of LPS as one of the financial authorities in Indonesia.
To participate in the LPS Monas Half Marathon 2024, participants are charged Rp 375,000 (early bird), group program Rp 450,000, and normal price Rp 750,000. Later, participants will receive a drawstring bag, BIB, race jersey, finishing jacket, and finishing medal.
