- What time does the race typically start?
- Due to the tropical heat, races in Brunei typically start very early, often between 05:00 and 06:00, to ensure runners finish before the peak temperature.
- Where is the packet pickup located?
- Packet pickup usually takes place at the Indoor Stadium Hassanal Bolkiah or a major central mall like The Mall Gadong 2-3 days before the event.
- Is the course flat or hilly?
- The course is generally flat as it winds through the city centre and along the waterfront, with very minor undulations near bridge crossings.
- What is the dress code for the race?
- Brunei is a conservative country. While standard running gear is acceptable, athletes are encouraged to wear modest attire; most local runners wear tees rather than singlets.
- How do I get to the start line?
- If staying in the city centre (Radisson or Brunei Hotel), you can walk. Otherwise, the 'Dart' app (Brunei's version of Uber/Grab) is the most reliable way to book a ride early.
- Will there be hydration stations?
- Yes, stations are typically placed every 2-3km offering water and occasionally isotonic drinks. Given the humidity, carrying a handheld flask is still recommended.
