Telkomsel is set to host its highly anticipated Digiland Run 2026 on May 17, 2026, at the iconic Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) complex in Jakarta. Centered around the theme “The RACEvolution,” this year’s event promises a unique sportainment experience that seamlessly integrates world-class running, live music entertainment, cutting-edge 5G and AI technology, and a robust showcase for local MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises).
The event is expected to draw over 12,500 participants across three race categories: Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K. Reflecting its commitment to international standards, Digiland Run 2026 has earned the World Athletics Label Road Races status. Furthermore, the Half Marathon and 10K routes have received official certification from World Athletics and the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS).
Lionel Chng, Marketing Director of Telkomsel, emphasized that the goal is to elevate the event beyond a traditional race. “The RACEvolution represents how 5G technology and AI can foster a healthier, more connected, and meaningful lifestyle,” Chng stated. “We are not just providing connectivity; we are utilizing technology to ensure every participant’s experience is seamless, personal, and relevant.”
Adding to this sentiment, Telkomsel’s Sales Director, Stanislaus Susatyo, noted that the event reflects the company’s dedication to supporting customers in their journey toward an active and productive life. As a dedicated lifestyle companion, the MyTelkomsel app now features a specialized running tool that helps participants track training progress, set personal targets, and earn rewards, highlighting the brand’s commitment to providing beyond-telco solutions.
To showcase the power of 5G, Telkomsel is offering exclusive perks, including Flash Sale points for race tickets, special Surprise Deals for data packages on race day, and a 5G Experience booth featuring a 5GB quota offer for just IDR 10. The overwhelming public interest in the event was evident, with tickets for all phases—from Super Early Bird to general sales—selling out on the day they were released, underscoring the growing demand for holistic, tech-integrated sports events.
Beyond the race itself, Digiland Run 2026 offers an immersive festival environment divided into three core zones:
Digiland Music & Entertainment: Featuring performances by popular national artists including .Feast, Hindia, Aldi Taher, Feel Koplo, Moluccan Soul, and DJ Una.
Smart MSME Market: A dedicated space to boost local entrepreneurs in culinary, fashion, and creative sectors, facilitated by digital payment ecosystems.
Tech & Innovation Experience: A zone where visitors can engage with 5G-powered interactive activations, AI robotics, and immersive digital displays.
The event has received strong backing from local authorities, including the Head of the Jakarta Youth and Sports Agency, Andri Yansyah, who praised the event for its potential to drive sport tourism and bolster the local economy. In line with Telkom Group’s sustainability initiatives, the event also incorporates the GoZero% and Telkomsel Jaga Bumi programs. Through this carbon offset initiative, participants contribute to the environment by planting one tree for every 5 kilometers run.
To ensure the safety and convenience of both participants and the public, traffic diversions will be implemented on May 17, 2026, from 04:00 to 09:00 WIB. Affected routes include the Semanggi Bridge, Jalan Jend.
