For Trans Jogja BRT buses, pay via QRIS (Indonesian e-wallet apps) or an Indonesian e-money card (e-Money, Flazz, Brizzi) — foreign tourists without an Indonesian bank card/e-wallet should instead default to Grab/Gojek ride-hailing, since Trans Jogja is not confirmed to accept foreign-issued contactless bank cards directly.
Getting to the start
Taman Wisata Candi Prambanan/Lapangan Brahma, Prambanan Temple Park, Bokoharjo Village, Prambanan District, Sleman Regency
Per prior edition (2026, held 21 June 2026): start/finish both at the Prambanan Temple tourism park.
Venue is technically in Sleman Regency near the Yogyakarta/Central Java border,
roughly 17km/30-40min drive from central Yogyakarta city and Yogyakarta's Tugu train station/airports —
budget significant transfer time.
No official 2027 date confirmed at time of research (DB gives 2027-06-20, consistent with the event's typical mid/late-June Sunday slot).
Getting to the finish
Same Prambanan Temple park precinct (Lapangan Brahma) as start
Course routes runners past Prambanan, Sewu, Lumbung, and Bubrah temples and surrounding rural villages before returning to the temple park.
More details
No specific shuttle bus service for international/foreign runners found.
Some third-party travel operators (e.g., Sambara Trans) sell transport packages — no comprehensive official shuttle network guaranteed.
This is a notably car/taxi-dependent race;
runners likely need private transport, taxi/ride-hailing (Grab), or an organized tour package from Yogyakarta city.
IC card
Kartu Trans Jogja / Jogja Smart Service (JSS), plus accepted Indonesian bank e-money cards (e-Money Mandiri, Flazz BCA, Brizzi BRI)
Trans Jogja terminals/shelters sell dedicated subscription cards (~IDR 50,000 with IDR 50,000 starting balance);
bank e-money cards can be bought/loaded at Indonesian banks, minimarkets, or some stations
Not accepted at the gates — get the local card above
