Borneo International Marathon
The Borneo International Marathon is a community-driven event supported by over 1,000 volunteers, with runners contributing to annual charitable goals. The full marathon route is a complete scenic tour through KK city center, coastal roads, and suburban areas, mostly flat with gentle rolling hills.
May in Kota Kinabalu brings warm, dry days perfect for a coastal run, with the route gliding past the city's waterfront and into quiet suburbs. After the race, unwind at the Sunday market for fresh local snacks, or take a short boat ride to the islands for snorkeling and sunset views.
