Event Information

Event Description

Twincity Marathon is celebrating its 5^th anniversary in 2019! 

From a humble start in 2014 that only attracted around 4,500 runners, Twincity Marathon has almost doubled its size in 2018 to 8,600 runners. And for the 5^th edition, we strive to make it even bigger but not sacrificing the quality of the race that has made it one of the most popular marathon races in Malaysia. 

Number 5 is always significant and bring a lot of meaning to our lives as individual. For most of us, it is the year that we enrolled officially into the learning environment, into pre-school. So did Twincity Marathon. It had been a steep learning curve during our first four years, learning the tips and tricks and trying to master all the basics of organizing a race. At 5 years old, we are sure a lot more are being expected from us, by the runners, sponsors and partners; and the expectations would grow bigger as we grow older.

And 5 is the number of many great stories, too! Who could forget the legendary tale of Malay warrior, Hang Tuah and his four warrior friends – Hang Jebat, Hang Kasturi, Hang Lekir and Hang Lekiu. Some of us even grow up watching a team of 5 teenagers fighting evil witch to save Angel Grove from the evil in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. The list continues but what is 5 individuals without unity and teamwork?

Unity is one of the traits that a marathon event promotes and it goes hand-in-hand with the aspiration of a nation, like our beloved Malaysia that blooms from its unique multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-religion population. And there could not be a better way to unite everyone of us than a sports event like Twincity Marathon. 

From the many brainstorming sessions we had, we have decided to use the logo, which depicts the 5 main ethnics in Malaysia – Malay, Chinese, Indian, and the biggest ethnic in Sabah – Kadazan, and in Sarawak – Iban (while not forgetting other ethnics); coming together to celebrate unity and prosperity in one platform/event that is Twincity Marathon 2019. The 5-petal hibiscus, with 5 buds on each side of the logo is also to depict prosperity blooming in this country around the lives of its multi-ethnic people. 

Come join us and 10,000 other runners on 20^th January 2019 as we celebrate the 5^th anniversary of Twincity Marathon!
