Penang Bridge International Marathon(PBIM) 2009 was held on 22nd November, 2009. This marathon is a yearly event held in Penang, popular among runners. Penang Bridge Marathon, or also previously known as Penang Bridge Run, was held every year since 1985. In 2009, this year, it is known as Penang Bridge International Marathon. This marathon attracts runners from all around the world as well as Malaysians and Penangites.
Roads were closed when this yearly event is held and runners get to run on Penang Bridge, which is the third longest bridge in the world. During other days, the bridge is only open for vehicles to drive to and fro between Penang island and Butterworth. Thus this marathon gives us the opportunity and is the only time we get to run and walk on the bridge.
There are 3 marathon categories ;-
1) Full Marathon (42.195km)
2) Half Marathon (21km)
3) Quarter Marathon (10km) (13 – 15 years old only)
4) Fun Run (10km) (13 years old and above)
