ErvitaRan in 2015
“I didn't finish, but the beautiful Bromo scenery, which I hadn't seen in decades, helped ease my disappointment.”

Ervita fell on a rocky descent early in the full marathon at the 2015 Bromo Marathon, injuring her face and knee. She walked before returning on a rescue motorcycle and withdrawing, but enjoyed the mountain scenery and accepted the experience.

Original quote

Walaupun DNF saya harus memuaskan diri menikmati pemandangan Bromo yang indah, terlebih lagi sudah puluhan tahun saya tidak ke sini.

“Over the last 2 km, I spent more time walking than running.”

Unexpectedly steep hills left this runner walking most of the final 2 km in the 2013 Bromo Marathon 10 km, finishing 12th in 1 hour 21 minutes 11 seconds. Mountain and farmland scenery and warm village support made it feel different from a city race.

There is no public bus or rail option reaching the crater rim area.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

The Tengger highlands around Mount Bromo have a tropical monsoon climate,

with a distinct dry season from April to November and wet season from December to March.

September falls in the dry season, so relatively clear weather and good visibility are possible.

Temperatures in the region range from 3–20°C, and frost can occur at high elevations in the early morning.

With the course reaching a maximum elevation of 2,469m, runners must prepare for the physiological demands of thin air and low temperatures before dawn.

Around half of the course consists of volcanic ash, sand and gravel, along with forest trails,

requiring different technique and equipment from a conventional road marathon.

Times are local to Pasuruan. Check the latest official information before the race.
