Borobudur Marathon in Magelang/Borobudur
Borobudur Marathon's founding year is disputed between 2008 and 2012 depending on the source, now run as the sponsored Bank Jateng Borobudur Marathon, starting and finishing at Lumbini Park beside Borobudur Temple. Offering 10K, 21K, and full 42K distances, held annually in November, the course winds through rice fields and traditional Javanese villages across the Magelang countryside, with roughly 320 meters of rolling elevation gain.
Sources disagree on Borobudur Marathon's precise founding, with some citing 2008 as the year of an original small race promoting Borobudur temple tourism and others pointing to 2012 as the launch of the modern branded event, now run under sponsorship as the Bank Jateng Borobudur Marathon, so its founding year is best treated as an approximate range rather than a single confirmed date.
