BORNEO HALF MARATHON 2024

(Formerly known as the Kota Kinabalu City Borneo Half Marathon (KKCBHM), it was first organised in February 2020, in conjunction with Kota Kinabalu City Month.)

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU REGISTER

1. What is the Borneo Half Marathon (BHM)?
BHM is a 21km running course which has a scenic route that runs through the city and the coast. This year there will be 2 distance categories, 11km and 21km.

2. Are the Borneo Half Marathon and the Kota Kinabalu City Borneo Half Marathon the same?
YES, they are the same! There has only been a slight change in name. KRC launched its first Half Marathon, KKCBHM, in February 2020. The organiser has decided to shorten the event name so that it is not a mouthful to mention it, thus it is now known as the Borneo Half Marathon.

3. Who is the organiser of the Borneo Half Marathon (BHM)?
BHM is organised by the Kinabalu Running Club (KRC), a group of dedicated volunteers with a passion for running and a vision to see high calibre international marathons being organised in Sabah.

4. Is the organiser of the Borneo Marathon (BM), Kota Kinabalu City Borneo Half Marathon (KKCBHM), and Borneo Half Marathon (BHM) the same?
Yes, they are! All of these events are organised by the Kinabalu Running Club.

5. Where will the Borneo Half Marathon be held?
The BHM will be held at Padang Merdeka, Kota Kinabalu.

6. Is the Borneo Half Marathon route the same as the Borneo Marathon’s 21km race route?
No, it is a totally different route so you can enjoy running two uniquely different half marathon races in one city.
