Get there
The MRT is the way to plan around — Saturday 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 printed timetables are on this board, below, and applied to "race days", plural (⚠️ 2025).
Nothing for 2026 is published yet — check again race week.
Transjakarta resumes only after the roads reopen (⚠️ 2025). Saturday's closures ran 03:30–08:30: Sudirman, Gatot Subroto, Gerbang Pemuda, Thamrin, Sisingamangaraja.
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 03:30.
Bringing a vehicle? The 2025 guide's own advice was: don't. Roads closed 03:30–08:30 on the Saturday; parking inside GBK was very limited. Park-and-ride from an MRT station was the guide's suggestion (⚠️ 2025).
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).
Race pack collection. Collect by Friday evening (2025, adopted): the 5K collected in Area 2 at Istora, and there was no race-day collection — for 2026, read: by Fri 23 Oct 20:00 (⚠️ 2025 dates).
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.
