*************

Together with Kinabalu Running Club, organizers of Borneo Marathon 2023 (BM2023), we have decided to jointly organise and launch the first ever SABAH MARATHON SERIES (SMS2023), only available to participants who sign up for BOTH the Full Marathons of BM2023 and EMS 2023.

A commemorative tee and medal would be accorded to runners who complete BOTH races within the COT stipulated for both the full marathons. Runners who sign up for both events would automatically qualify to be part of the SMS2023. T-shirts and medals will be given out at EMS2023.
