A celebration of running

What started in 2014 with just 3645 runners has now grown into one of Malaysia’s most anticipated races, with a record-breaking 33,000 participants this year set to take over Putrajaya. Known for its world-class organisation and electrifying atmosphere, this race has cemented itself as a must-run for passionate runners from Malaysia and beyond.

As a proud member of AIMS, with its course certified by World Athletics, Score Marathon upholds the highest international standards. It offers accuracy of the distance, professional execution of the event and a seamless experience for runners – making it favourable for them to achieve their personal bests or qualify for prestigious races worldwide. The race will flag off at the iconic Dataran Putrajaya, setting the stage for a breathtaking running experience. Participants will traverse routes that include the magnificent Jambatan Wawasan – with views of the illuminated city skyline – the shimmering Putrajaya Lake and the majestic Putra Mosque. The well-lit, scenic course enhances the experience, while the wide roads allow for a smooth and comfortable run.

Runner safety is a top priority. The Care+ Runners, first introduced in Score Marathon 2024 by AIA Vitality, return this year to offer on-the-go first aid assistance – a pioneering initiative in Malaysia. These certified first-aid runners run alongside participants, ready to provide immediate support before medical personnel arrive, ensuring a safer race for all.

With sustainability at its core, Score Marathon continues to champion eco-friendly initiatives. Partnering with Pressio last year, all event and finisher T-shirts are crafted from 100% GRS-certified recycled fibres. This initiative alone has saved an estimated 44,500 PET bottles from landfills, conserved 84,380 litres of water, reduced carbon emissions by 10.55 tons and saved 91,130 kWh of energy. The impact doesn’t stop there: post-event efforts saw a record-breaking 1150 kg of plastic materials collected and recycled – the equivalent of 46,320 plastic bottles. Score Marathon also eliminated 62,000 single-use plastics across event tees, finisher tees, and bibs in 2024.

The movement continues with Pressio race shirts made from recycled materials and finisher medals crafted partly from recycled plastic. Runners are also encouraged to bring their own refillable bottles to hydration stations, further reducing waste and promoting a cleaner, greener race environment.

Post-race, the excitement continues at the Race Village, where runners can recharge, reconnect, and celebrate. From ice pools, sports massages, and sports taping to vibrant festival vibes, the atmosphere is buzzing with energy. The race welcomes elite athletes, casual runners, and families alike, offering distances from 5km to 42.2km, making it an event for everyone. Score Marathon 2025 by AIA Vitality is a festival of unity, endurance, and passion, bringing people together to celebrate the sport they love.
