Click button below to start the registration!

The Penang Bridge International Marathon (PBIM) committee has already received 25,000 participants since opening the 2014 early-bird online registration on 1 March! The early bird period was initially set to open till 31 March or when 30,000 slots are filled up, whichever comes first, but it is being filled up much earlier than expected. After that, the online registration will still continue but at normal fee.Those who have registered but have yet to pay are urged to complete their payment soon to avoid being deleted from the system.

On top of that, there will be a special lucky draw for those who register within the early bird period, with 100 exciting prizes to be given away. The prizes include flight tickets, tour packages, cruise packages, hotel stay and buffet vouchers, Lorenzo jewellery, Asics sports apparels, Titan watches, hydration belts and more.

Due to the amazing response from the public in just less than a week, the committee is expecting 70,000 participants for PBIM 2014 instead of the initial target of 60,000. This year, the Penang Bridge International Marathon will fall on 16 November 2014 on the Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge (Penang Second Bridge). The starting point of the marathon will be on the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, around 20 metres before running onto the second bridge.
