Penang Bridge International Marathon 2013 Early-Bird Registration to open in early March

The Penang Bridge International Marathon (PBIM) online registration will be opened on 1 March for early-birds this year! This year, the marathon will be held on 17 November 2013.

The event was a huge success last year, attracting up to 34,500 participants which is an increase of 7,000 participants from year 2011.

The categories for the PBIM 2013 consist of a Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10k Run and a Fun Run. This year, the distance for the Fun Run will be reduced to 7km instead of 10km like the previous years. Aside from that, the Full Marathon will also include a new Veteran classification for the Women’s category and not just for the Men's category. The Full Marathon is opened to those who are aged 18 and above and aside from the Veteran category, runners can also opt to go for the Open category. For the half marathon, it is also open to men and women above the age of 18 years, while the 10k marathon is divided into open (aged 18 and above) and junior (aged 13 and above) categories. The Fun Run is opened to those from age 13 years and above.

Full, half and 10k marathons are competitive and will be timed. For competitive runs, a running vest, running bib, finishers' medal and certificate will be given; while a t-shirt and certificate will be given to fun runners. The participation fee for each category is as the following:
