300 traffic policemen and 100 Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL)
officers from enforcement department will be deployed to control the traffic.
The road closure details are also available in the Standard Chartered KL
Marathon’s official website, www.kl-marathon.com .
Public transportation – available option
Dirigo Events with the collaboration of DBKL and Syarikat
Prasarana Negara Berhad are pleased to announce that the MyRapid LRT trains
will be operational for Standard Chartered KL Marathon Runners.
In anticipation of the large number of participants who
would be flagged off from 4.30am at Dataran Merdeka, the LRT services would
begin at 3.00am that day for participants, volunteers, and supporters to travel
by train to the Masjid Jamek station, which is the nearest point to the race
venue.
Two major lines, namely the Ampang line and the Kelana Jaya
line will be operational from 3.00am and trains will run at every 15-minute
interval. All LRT stations along these two lines will be open from 2.45am to
allow time for passengers to purchase their tokens. The organisers recommend
that all runners use the MyRapid cards to avoid long queues and facilitate
easier access to the public transportation services. Please locate the station
closest to your area and plan your journey ahead of time. To keep updated,
please check www.kl-marathon.com
regularly.
The Standard Chartered KL Marathon is once again made
possible by title sponsor Standard Chartered Bank, in partnership with the
event owner and organiser, Dirigo Events Sdn Bhd, and co-organiser, Dewan
Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) with strong support from the Ministry of Youth
and Sports; and gold sponsors MSIG and Honda.
