Get there

The MRT is the way to plan around. The 2025 guide: nearest station Istora Mandiri, enter GBK via Entrance 6 or 7, then the guide's own 6-minute walk to Istora and 4 more to the runners' entry at Plaza Parkir Timur.

All runners were entitled to free MRT rides on race days (how the free ride was given in 2025 — on showing the bib — is the crew's own account, not a published rule).

On race mornings the MRT ran early, from 03:00 (⚠️ 2025; the timetables below are the printed ones).

Nothing for 2026 is published yet — check again race week.

Transjakarta resumes only after the roads reopen (⚠️ 2025: the guide printed it exactly that way). Roads around the course closed 03:00–09:30 on marathon day in 2025. Updates came through instagram.com/infotije and the Transjakarta app.

Taxi or online ride: the 2025 guide said set your destination to Entrance 5 Gelora Bung Karno — and contradicted itself, listing Entrance 5 among the vehicle-accessible gates on one page and the pedestrian-only ones on another. Recorded as printed; order in advance and account for the closures (⚠️ 2025).

Bringing a vehicle? The 2025 guide's own advice was: don't. Roads around GBK closed from 03:00; parking inside GBK was very limited and could sit far from the entrance. Park-and-ride from an MRT station was the guide's suggestion (⚠️ 2025). The organiser's 2026 hotels page (✅) still builds the whole weekend around the MRT.

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.

MRT southbound — race-morning early service — ⚠️ 2025 race guide p. 23 — carried as printed: train 1 ends at Fatmawati, and Istora 03:53 → Senayan 03:54 is the guide's own 1-minute hop where every other train takes 2.

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 runners' entrance gate closed at the gun and late arrivals were — arrival 'at least an hour before' was the 2025 line.

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.
