RACE INFORMATION

Participant registration for the Makassar Half Marathon 2026 will open on December 12, 2025 for Tier I, which offers a 15% discount, and followed by Tier II on January 11, 2026, which applies regular pricing. Registration is limited, so be sure to stay updated on registration dates to secure your slot before they run out.

Each participant can register for two different categories, 10K on Saturday & Half Marathon on Sunday. And each participant is only entitled to register for one ticket in a category.

Registration fees for unselected categories are non-refundable. Participants in this situation will receive all race kits, but will be issued only one race bib, corresponding to the confirmed category they are competing in.

All runners can participate in the Makassar Half Marathon 2026 by completing their registration and complying with the event regulations. Registered participants will receive an official confirmation email once their registration process is successfully completed.
