Kota Belud Half Marathon 2026

Kota Belud Half Marathon 2026 is a scenic road-running event in rural Sabah, centred on Kota Belud and its surrounding paddy-field landscape. The official event page highlights views towards Mount Kinabalu and describes the course as mostly flat, with a few gentle climbs adding some variety without turning it into a mountain race.

The programme combines a 21K half marathon with a 10K fun run, making the event suitable for both competitive runners and participants looking for a shorter road challenge. The organiser's current event-overview artwork gives the 21K a 05:30 MYT flag-off and a four-hour cut-off. The same current-edition material confirms separate pricing for both distances and a prize structure covering men's and women's Open (18-39) and Veteran (40+) divisions, with trophies and prizes for the top three finishers.

The event takes place on Sunday, 8 November 2026, with Kompleks Sukan Kota Belud in Kampung Botung identified as the event venue. The road setting and open agricultural scenery are the main draw, giving runners a distinctly local Sabah experience rather than a city-centre course.

Current organiser material does not clearly publish race-pack collection details or a fully readable 10K flag-off time, so those fields have been left unset rather than guessed. The official registration page remains the primary source for late operational updates.
