In 2014, 3,674 runners stood at the starting line of a humble road race called the SCORE Run. Most came for the thrill. Some came for the challenge.
Few could have predicted that this humble race would spark a movement, one that would, within a decade, evolve into Malaysia’s fastest-growing and one of the most iconic marathons.
In just ten years, what started as a simple run would evolve into a nationwide phenomenon that now attracts more than 24,000 runners annually, and counting.
A Global Stage for Local Runners
Malaysia’s fastest-growing marathon didn’t happen overnight. It was built with passion, perseverance, and the unstoppable spirit of a running community that believed in something bigger.
This is the SCORE Marathon.
Now, it returns stronger than ever. SCORE Marathon 2025 by AIA Vitality is back – bigger, bolder, and officially recognised on the global stage.
Happening on 13 July in Putrajaya, this year’s edition marks a new high, with a record-breaking 33,000 runners from 48 countries – a powerful testament to SCORE’s rise as a true international marathon.
World-Class Standards, Homegrown Spirit
In a defining milestone, the 2025 edition has been awarded the World Athletics Label Road Race status – one of only three races in Malaysia with this distinction, and part of an exclusive global network of just 301 certified events worldwide.
This recognition doesn’t just boost prestige. It puts SCORE Marathon on the radar for serious runners worldwide. It also serves as a qualifying race for the Abbott World Marathon Majors, further cementing its reputation among elite and recreational runners alike.
The event’s continued affiliations with AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance Races) and support from the Ministry of Youth and Sports Malaysia underscore its international credibility and growing influence.
Conquer Your Next Challenge
Over 126,633 runners have crossed the SCORE finish line since its inception. But that’s more than just a number, it’s a legacy. A ripple effect of inspiration that grows with every edition.
Because SCORE has always been more than a race.
It’s a movement. A celebration of resilience. A challenge accepted and conquered.
SCORE Marathon isn’t just another event on the calendar. It’s the race that transforms you.
So, are you ready to conquer your next challenge?
Whether it’s chasing a new personal best, finishing your first 10KM, or simply showing up stronger than the year before, SCORE is calling you to rise beyond the run.
Because this isn’t just about racing. It’s about who you become along the way.
