Running should always be safe, secure, and worry-free. At JRF 2025, we place the highest priority on protecting every runner, crew member, and supporter so everyone can enjoy the festival with peace of mind.
Actions:
-
Government-backed safety
In close collaboration with city authorities, we ensure route sterilization, traffic control, and security operations are in place—allowing runners to focus only on their race without worrying about external disturbances.
-
Medical teams across the course
Professional doctors, paramedics, ambulances, and trained marshals are stationed at key points to provide immediate care and rapid response for any emergency situation. The medical team involves hundreds of people, including medical professionals, students, and volunteers, supported by 19 medical tents, 12 standby ambulances, and 11 mobile paramedic units
-
Climate-sensitive cut-off times
Using the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) device as our guide, we set climate-sensitive cut-off times to keep runners safe in Jakarta’s intense heat and humidity. The strict 5-hour marathon limit helps reduce overexposure and heat-related risks.
-
Crew and volunteer training
Our team undergoes CPR, first-aid, and safety protocol training to ensure they are prepared to handle critical situations, from minor injuries to medical emergencies.
-
Insurance and protective gear
Every crew member and volunteer is covered with full insurance during the event, supported with high-visibility vests and protective equipment to guarantee their safety while managing the course.
-
Clear and continuous communication
We provide pre-race safety guidelines, waiver forms, and real-time race-day updates to keep participants fully informed. Runners are guided at every stage, ensuring they feel secure before, during, and after the festival.
Impact:
Safety is the foundation of JRF 2025. By prioritizing health, protection, and preparedness, we ensure that every runner can perform at their best, every volunteer can contribute with confidence, and every supporter can celebrate without worry.
