The runners are from America, Europe, Australia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Asian nations, said Taswin Zakaria, president director of Maybank Indonesia, reports Xinhua news agency.
"Maybank Indonesia expresses a gratitude to all sponsors and other parties supporting this event," said Zakaria.
A total 2,500 athletes will compete in full marathon of 42,195 kms, 3,500 in half marathon of 21,098 kms and the rest for a 10-km race for a total prize money of more than two billion rupiah (some $149,000), the sponsor said.
