A unique opportunity to run across the iconic Penang Bridge awaits you during the Penang Bridge Marathon. You will get to run from the Malaysian peninsula to the island of Penang on a course free of traffic. Since its inception in 1985 the PBIM created a well known brand. This is mainly due to a carnival-like, fun atmosphere during the Penang Marathon. It showcases the colours, sights and flavours of Penang. Both the marathon and the half-marathon start in the middle of the night and you will most likely finish before sunrise. Join the Penang Bridge Marathon and experience this destination for culture, arts, heritage and nature.
