Kuantan Half Marathon 2025


Woke up early, got ready and booked a Grab to the start point of Kuantan Half Marathon. Reached the start point, half an hour before. The flag off for half marathon was at 4 AM, weather was hot and humid, a lot of people were participating.

Because of humidity, I was sweating a lot. Some of the roads were completely blocked for the event. Thanks to volunteers, the local police and JomRun for organizing a very good event. I enjoyed my run and finished in 2:53 hours. Heard the call for the Fajr prayer, some runners went to pray at a nearby mosque, before resuming their run again, that was a new experience for me.

Took some rest after the run, drank a Teh Halia near Menara 188, booked a Grab to the hotel. Took shower, packed my bags and checked out from the hotel, booked a Grab to Kuantan Sentral, I had to catch a bus to Kuala Lumpur.

Reached TBS in KL, and took KLIA Transit from Bandar Tasik Selatan to Kuala Lumpur Airport Terminal 2. Waited for few hours and then boarded the AirAsia AK53 flight to Bangalore. Reached Bangalore Airport Terminal T2 around 11 PM, walked to bus bay and took the KIA-8 bus to the city.
