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 · drop = 1–19, the crew's planning positions off the organiser's app map, ±0.4 km each · 🕌 the km-2 mushola (the Subuh stop) · yellow dots = km markers · red rings = the cut-off points: km 18 · 06:10 | km 28 · 07:20 | km 31.8 · 07:45 | km 36.8 · 08:20. The line is the GPX the 2026 page embeds. Read it race week — where the cut-offs sit, 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 2026 cut-offs, published 3 Oct — all of them count from the ✅ 04:00 gun. They read as near-even gates — 7:13, 7:09, 7:05, 7:04 /km from the gun, against the finish's 7:07 — so the barrier is the back half, not the first hour: COP3 at km 31.8 and COP4 at km 36.8 are tighter than the finish itself, and COP4 is the one with nothing to spare. A 5:00 goal at even (7:07 /km) passes COP1 and COP2 with minutes in hand, then reaches COP3 ≈1 min past its clock and COP4 ≈1:40 past — the board's planning ceiling sits at ≈4:58, where COP4 is met with nothing in hand and the finish still clears by 1:54. The gate table below restates the clocks leg by leg — every is that leg's minimum, arriving exactly on the gate's clock, zero margin at every gate; the finish's 7:25/km closer is what the gates leave you, and your own margins are the rows above, against your own plan. The organiser's own wording: COPs are based on time of day, not running duration — and a runner who misses one may not continue the course: shuttle back to the race village, recorded (). Your delay and any stop minutes subtract from every cut-off here equally.
| Checkpoint | Target clock | Total time | Distance (km) | Gate gap | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| START | 04:00 | 0 min | 0 km | – | – |
| COP1 | 06:10 | 130 min | 18 km | 18 km | 7:13/km |
| COP2 | 07:20 | 200 min | 28 km | 10 km | 7:00/km |
| COP3 | 07:45 | 225 min | 31.8 km | 3.8 km | 6:35/km |
| COP4 | 08:20 | 260 min | 36.8 km | 5 km | 7:00/km |
| FINISH | 09:00 | 300 min | 42.195 km | 5.395 km | 7:25/km |
Slowest that still makes the from your gun: 7:02/km.
