About this race
The Saucony Kuala Lumpur Marathon runs through Malaysia's dynamic capital city with the iconic Petronas Twin Towers — once the world's tallest buildings — as the backdrop. Starting at Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square), the course winds through KL's vibrant Bukit Bintang entertainment district, KLCC Park beneath the Towers, through Chinatown's Petaling Street, and past the Merdeka 118 — the world's second-tallest skyscraper.
