It is organised by Penang State Tourism Development office and fully supported by the Penang State Government.
Details
The event was established in 1984 and is usually held at Penang Bridge in late November every year with the exception of 2014, in which the event was held at Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge which also known as the Penang Second Bridge. During the competition, participants run over the bridge and along a scenic coastal highway.[1] Known as the biggest run in the country, the Penang Bridge International Marathon incorporates a full marathon and a half-marathon event. The competition also had a 8 km fun run event and a quarter-marathon or 10 km run event. But as part of the rebranding exercise, they were removed in 2018 and 2020 respectively.[2][3][4]
