Get there
The MRT is the way to plan around — Sunday edition. The 2025 guide: nearest station Istora Mandiri, enter GBK via Entrance 6 or 7, then 6 minutes to Istora and 4 more to the runners' entry at Plaza Parkir Timur.
Free MRT rides for runners on race days (⚠️ 2025 — the bib detail is the crew's own account).
Race-morning early service ran from 03:00 — the first trains reach Istora 03:07 northbound and 03:14 southbound; the printed timetables are on this board, below (⚠️ 2025).
Nothing for 2026 is published yet — check again race week.
Transjakarta resumes only after the roads reopen (⚠️ 2025). Sunday's closures ran 03:00–09:30 — the Saturday set plus Asia Afrika, Medan Merdeka, Imam Bonjol, Rasuna Said and more.
Taxi or online ride: the 2025 guide said Entrance 5 — and contradicted itself on whether that gate takes vehicles at all (⚠️ 2025, recorded as printed on the marathon board). Order in advance; the closures start 03:00, an hour earlier than Saturday's.
Bringing a vehicle? The 2025 guide's own advice was: don't. Roads closed 03:00–09:30 on the Sunday; parking inside GBK was very limited. Park-and-ride from an MRT station was the guide's suggestion (⚠️ 2025).
You share the morning with the marathon. Its gun is 04:00 (✅) — 75 minutes before yours: a venue already full, an expo that opens 06:00 (⚠️ 2025 hours), and gates shared with a field that has been arriving since 03:00. Everything above takes longer than it says.
MRT northbound — race-morning early service — ⚠️ 2025 race guide p. 22 — carried as printed: train 1 runs Blok M–Dukuh Atas only, and Senayan's "3:05" lacks its leading zero on the page. "Race days", plural — the guide does not say which day.

Get off at Istora.
Bag drop. There will be a (the crew's confirmation) — the organiser has not published how late it stays open, so don't plan a cutting-close arrival around it. Where: at Istora in 2025, a short walk from the runners' entrance at Plaza Parkir Timur (⚠️ 2025 guide). The morning track: take wudu before leaving or at Imsak 03:59, pray at 04:09, and be at the runners' entrance well before 05:15 — the gate closes at flag-off, and late arrivals are (2026). The marathon's field is already in there: a line at is part of this morning.
Race pack collection. Collect by Saturday evening (2025, adopted): the 10K collected in Area 1 at Istora — 23–24 Oct 10.00–20.00, plus Sun 25 Oct 09.00–19.00 for 10K + marathon only; no collection after that at your own start (⚠️ 2025 dates). For 2026 read: by Sat 24 Oct 19:00.
Do not arrive at the just before the gun. Toilet queues at a mass start are the most common way a race plan dies before it begins. The full official rundown is on the Event tab.
