The story

Selangor Marathon in Cyberjaya

The Selangor Marathon, known as SELMAR, is a road running event held in the planned tech city of Cyberjaya, with the 2026 edition scheduled for Sunday, November 1 at Persiaran Flora. The race offers a full 42-kilometre marathon, a 21-kilometre half marathon, 10 and 5-kilometre runs, and shorter kids and 1-kilometre categories, set against Cyberjaya's modern cityscape and wide, purpose-built roads.

Cyberjaya was purpose-built in the late 1990s as Malaysia's flagship technology city, part of the Multimedia Super Corridor development intended to anchor the country's digital economy ambitions.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Cyberjaya's origins as a purpose-built technology and administrative city give the marathon a course character distinct from Malaysia's more historic urban races, running through wide, modern boulevards designed originally for a planned smart city rather than organically grown streets

02

The mystery stays covered

As one of Selangor state's premier running events, SELMAR benefits from strong state-level backing and organization, positioning it within a tier of established, well-supported Malaysian road races

03

The city starts moving

Its range of distance categories, from a 1-kilometre family option through to the full marathon, makes it accessible to a wide span of runner experience levels within a single event
