The first Marathon in Jakarta





Some of people don't know about Jakarta, and sometimes they ask : Jakarta? Where is it ? Is it a country ? Is it part of Africa ? All the people are just know about Bali and Lombok, that's so sad for me as an indonesian citizen. Well, Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia and it's the part of Java island.

Because of many people don't know about Jakarta, now the government of Indonesia take one decision to make a big event, it's call Jakarta Marathon. It's the first time in Jakarta and also the first edition. It will be 15.000 runner who participate in this event. Not just that, the minister of tourism was participate on Running Expo in Porte de Versailles, Paris, France to promote this event. Until now there are 5 people from France who will come to Jakarta and participate on this event.
