Fret not if you have yet to register for the run. You can still opt for the remaining categories - Corporate Challenge, Universities Challenge, or the Run For A Reason.

In celebration of its decade-long run, SCKLM will be introducing 10 new features. Here are some notable ones:

i) Introduction of participation history - Runners can check their past participation through SCKLM's website. Runners are able to track their progress over the years they’ve participated in the annual marathon.

ii) Standalone Kids Dash - The event will take place one day earlier, 7 April to allow parents to watch and support their children before going for their respective events the next day. 

iii) Option to choose between short-sleeved or sleeveless running T’s

iv) Special commemorative finisher medals - To commemorate its 10th anniversary, SCKLM will introduce medals featuring a unique KL skyline swivel design.

There are only a limited number of spots left, so you’ll want to register soon to secure a spot for yourself! Register here.
