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 = 1–9, the crew's planning positions off the organiser's app map, ±0.8 km each · 🕌 the km-2 mushola (the FM's too — the same roadside point ≈27 m away) · yellow dots = km markers · red rings = the cut-off points: km 10.5 · 06:30 | km 15.5 · 07:15. 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.

Event-day rundown — official

03:00	MRT early service begins (2025 "race days")
03:30	Roads close (2025 Saturday: 03:30–08:30)
03:30	Suggested arrival at the runners' entrance (2025: at least an hour before the gun)
04:09	Subuh — pray at the venue, then to the corral (Kemenag RI; the recommendation)
04:30	First-wave gun. Later waves' times are unpublished; the entrance gate closes at flag-off, and late arrivals are DNS (2026)
05:28	Sunrise (Kemenag RI)
06:30	COP1 · km 10.5, Semanggi (2026)
07:15	COP2 · km 15.5, Semanggi second pass (2026)
08:15	COT — 3 h 45 after the 04:30 gun (2026)
08:30	Roads reopen (2025)

Every row is an estimate, built around the ✅ 04:30 first gun — no 2026 rundown exists yet. Rows marked 2025 are the 2025 race guide's values. Read it again race week; your gun is highlighted.

Water is on the course — drinking water and the isotonic drink at the hydration stations (the organiser's safety advisory, 16 Oct). The organiser's app course map (9 Oct) lists 9 water stations — about every 2.5 km early, then every 2 km from km 12.5, the advisory says — plus 4 elite-water points (a type the organiser labels but does not explain), 2 Strive stations — Strive is the race's official gel, so these are the gel points (the Fuel tab puts them on your clock), 1 fruit, 2 OnPoint, 4 toilet and 1 mushola. To cool down: 3 cold-sponge and 2 cold-towel stations — the towels are new this year — and 8 water-mist points along the festival's courses, most of them late in the race; medical teams cover the course and the finish. Neither source prints kilometres, and the towel and mist points are not on the map yet; the organiser has not said what OnPoint serves, nor which Strive gel is handed out. The kilometres on this board are the crew's planning positions — set on the half-kilometre near where that map draws each station, matched to the route GPX — so treat each as ±0.8 km. The one named point is the 🟧 km-2 mushola, roadside outside GBK — a fallback for a mid-race wudu, not the plan: the recommendation is to pray at the venue before the start.

The 2026 cut-offs, published 3 Oct — the kilometres held, the clocks moved with the , and the 27 Sep warning sign is resolved: COP2 now sits a breath inside the finish's own (10:39/km needed against the 's 10:40), where the 2025 adoption had it clearly stricter. An even-paced 3:45 misses COP2 by seconds — the board's planning ceiling is ≈3:44:45, where COP2 clears with one second in hand. The organiser's rule, printed for both races: COPs are based on time of day, not running duration — miss one and you may not continue the course: shuttle back to the race village, recorded (). Both count from the first gun; your delay subtracts from every one of them.

Slowest that still makes the from your gun: 10:19/km.

Race-pack collection — questions to close

Your — and set it on the Race Day tab; every clock on Race Buddy moves with it
When does your 's close or fill? — ask at the desk
Do cut-off clocks run from each 's gun, or one clock for all waves?
Plain water on course? — in addition to the sports drink
— is there one, where, and until when?
Road closures — where can supporters stand?
