Professional and amateur runners can now block their calendars!

The Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2014 (SCKLM 2014) team has announced the date for the biggest and most anticipated marathon in Malaysia.

This year, the race will be happening on Sunday the 12th October 2014.

Back for the sixth time, it will be held once again at the iconic Dataran Merdeka and this time, with a line-up of activities leading up to the Race Day.

Registrations will commence in April, so for those who are looking to participate the marathon this year, should look out for it as you might want to book a spot the soonest you can.

Last year, the SCKLM reached its highest participation since it was first introduced, whereby almost 30,000 runners took part.

There will also be running clinics to help new and professional runners alike to better prepare themselves. The dates for the clinics will be announced in April.
