The Allianz Penang Bridge International Marathon committee has added a new and exciting feature for family and friends to track the status and progress of participants in real-time on the event day. Details such as time, pace, and estimated finishing time will be instantly available. The live results system is available HERE! Participants can also have their progress posted directly to Facebook or Twitter by signing up at the website.

The APBIM Race Kit collection begins this weekend starting from 10 November at the open space car park located beside Coffee Bean at Queensbay Mall, Penang. For participants who have chosen to self-collect their race kit, they can do so on the date and time that they had selected during the registration. Participants need to show their IC or passport for collection. For those who will be collecting on behalf of the participants, they need to bring a copy of the participant’s official receipt and also show their own IC or passport to the collection officer to validate themselves as the person collecting on the participant’s behalf. The race kit collection dates are 10 to 11 November (10am to 9pm), 14 to 16 November (10am to 9pm) and 17 November (10am to 6pm). The counter will be closed at 6pm sharp and no collections will be allowed after that.

The committee would also like to officially announce DiGi Telecommunications as APBIM’s Main Sponsor, who has been sponsoring the marathon for five consecutive years. In conjunction with the marathon, DiGi has launched a campaign called “Train Smart, Run Smart with DG Smart Plan”, featuring a handy guide which introduces various running and fitness apps that encourages and helps participants to get fit and to train for the run.
