TLM Christmas Run George Town Penang 2026

TLM Christmas Run 2026 brings a festive running morning to King Street (Lebuh King), George Town, Penang, on Sunday 20 December 2026. Organised by TLM Event Sdn Bhd, the event combines a relaxed community run with live entertainment, a Christmas atmosphere, a lucky draw and a festive snowfall experience.

Route and programme

The official Howei listing calls the race 4.5 km, while its accompanying promotional copy refers to a 5 km fun run. Accordingly, treat this as approximately 4.5-5 km rather than a certified measured 5K. ARC's nearest structured distance selector is 5K; this note preserves the more precise advertised 4.5 km detail. The official promotional artwork confirms the 7:00am flag-off on 20 December 2026, using King Street in George Town's UNESCO World Heritage precinct. The organiser's registration page has a route-map section: entrants should check the final map and meeting instructions before travelling.

Tickets and inclusions

The original 2026 event poster advertises MYR 38 for an individual, or MYR 140 total for a group of four, not MYR 140 per person. Prices shown on the artwork may exclude platform or payment fees; final ticket availability and checkout totals should be checked at registration. The organiser advertises a running T-shirt, finisher medal, Christmas hat, lucky-draw participation, a snowfall-themed activity and an electronic certificate. No official chip-timing service or competitive podium categories have been independently confirmed.

Before race day

This is aimed at families, friends, walkers and social runners, with an emphasis on festive participation rather than performance. The official 2026 page does not clearly establish the final registration closing date, exact race-pack pickup arrangements or a formal age minimum, so none is assumed here. Review your confirmation, any updated social announcements and the official participant instructions. Arrive early around King Street, where event-day street access and parking may be affected.

This is the 20 December 2026 event, distinct from organiser-linked OBS Christmas Runs in prior years. The current-edition official registration page remains the primary reference.
