Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon Goes Virtual Again in 2021

Lace up your running shoes, and head for the finish line. Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon (KLSCM) will go virtual for the second year running, between 20 – 28 November 2021. 

The premier virtual running event in Malaysia is organised by Dirigo Events, with Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia returning as Title Sponsor. The virtual run (VR) will offer free registration and will contest the Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10km and 5km distance categories. More than 52,000 local and international runners participated in the 2020 edition.
