The high number of participants cements BTN JAKIM as one of\nthe largest running events in Indonesia and demonstrates Jakarta\u2019s\nincreasing appeal within the global running community. BTN President\nDirector Nixon LP Napitupulu stated on Friday that the consistent growth\nin participants motivates the company to continuously improve the\nquality of the event and expand its international reach. \u201cThe response\nfrom the people of Jakarta, the people of all Indonesia, and\ninternational runners has been tremendous. We want more than two\nthousand international runners next year. The Governor has given me a\nKPI to reach 50 thousand participants next year. We will work hard,\u201d\nNixon said. Meanwhile, DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said the high\npublic interest in BTN JAKIM proves that the event has become one of the\nmost anticipated sporting events each year. \u201cLast year I jokingly set a\ntarget of 45 thousand, and Alhamdulillah, it sold out in a short time.\nThere were even people still queuing to get a slot. This shows\nextraordinary enthusiasm,\u201d Pramono said. Of the 1,012 registered\ninternational runners, Malaysia has the highest number of participants\nwith 407 runners, followed by Singapore with 133 runners and South Korea\nwith 54 runners. The presence of runners from various countries\ndemonstrates Jakarta\u2019s strengthening position on the Asian marathon map.\nAccording to Pramono, the changing trend in international participation\nis an indicator of the successful development of Jakarta as a sports\nevent destination. Domestically, the three provinces with the largest\nnumber of participants are DKI Jakarta with 14,750 runners, West Java\nwith 12,030 runners, and Banten with 5,340 runners. The high\nparticipation from various regions shows the widening reach of BTN JAKIM\namong the national community and running groups. BTN JAKIM 2026 will\ntake place over two days, with the 5K and 10K categories on Saturday\n(13\/6) and the Half Marathon and Marathon on Sunday (14\/6). Of the total\nregistered participants, the Half Marathon category is the most popular\nwith 16,400 runners, followed by the 10K with 15,000 runners, the\nMarathon with 8,600 runners, and the 5K with 5,500 runners. To support\nthe smooth execution of BTN JAKIM 2026, the DKI Jakarta Provincial\nGovernment has prepared traffic engineering on a number of road sections\nthat form part of the race route. Several main corridors such as the\nSudirman, Thamrin, and Rasuna Said areas, as well as other roads used by\nparticipants, will be sterilised during the race. Pramono emphasised\nthat this measure is taken to provide a safe and comfortable running\nexperience for all participants. \u201cWe have decided that there will be no\nCar Free Day on Saturday and Sunday because all routes will be\nsterilised so that runners can enjoy their run comfortably,\u201d Pramono\nsaid.<\/p>",
