In an effort to innovate and freshen up the Race, the Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon (KLSCM) 2022 will feature slightly different routes for all its distance categories. As the 5km and 10km categories are now on Saturday, both these categories will start and finish at the main Start/Finish Arch at Dataran Merdeka rather than the previous years’ starts at Sogo. This will give the participants of these two categories the same grand Start accorded to the Half and Full Marathon participants.
The key differences in the Half and Full Marathon route for KLSCM 2022 is that the route will now not cover Jalan Kampung Pandan, Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Pahang, Bukit Tunku, Jalan Damansara and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim. These sections will be replaced by extended sections on Jalan Kuching and the AKLEH elevated highway. By removing the tough hilly section in Bukit Tunku, it is anticipated that finishing times could be faster than in previous years, and course records could potentially be broken.
