Course map — the event's layer
Not the plan — that map lives on Race Day. This is the event's own information on the measured line: ▮▮ start/finish — GBK's east side · yellow dots = km markers · no red rings — the 5K has never had a cut-off point to draw · and no praying place: the line never reaches the FM/HM km-2 mushola. One sits on the organiser's app map — on the Sudirman stretch, passed both ways; the map prints no kilometre, so none is drawn. The line is the GPX the 2026 page embeds. Read it race week — where the corners are, not what to run. The elevation chart under the map is linked to the line — drag either one and the two dots mark the same course kilometre.

Cut-offs
The cut-off will not catch anyone running — the gate can. The finish clock, published 3 Oct, is 1 hour after the gun: 06:15 — 12:00/km from the start. It binds the walking back of a family field, not a runner, and the board still shows your margin, sign included. What actually ends races is the gate: the runners' entrance closes at flag-off (05.15 WIB); late arrivals cannot enter and are recorded (✅ 2026). After the cut-off you may still cross the line and take refreshments, but no finisher medal and a — the organiser's own wording, and the asterisk on the medal. There is no intermediate cut-off — the 5K has never had one — and no gate grid: one clock, one gate. Both are gun-time: your start-line spare subtracts from the clock, not from your race.
