Padma Hotels proudly announces the return of Padma Run Bandung 2026, its annual running event that brings communities together through fitness, friendship, and social impact. Taking place on Sunday, 4 October 2026, this year’s event carries the theme #LaceUpForChange, encouraging runners to make every step count towards a meaningful cause.
Unlike previous editions, Padma Run 2026 will be held exclusively in Bandung. The event also marks a special milestone as Padma Hotel Bandung celebrates its first year of operations following its opening on 1 July 2026.
Padma Run Bandung 2026 is expected to welcome more than 1,061 participants from across Indonesia, including leisure runners, families, and experienced athletes.
More than a sporting event, Padma Run Bandung 2026 is a collaborative Corporate Social Responsibility initiative led by the Padma Hotels family across Indonesia, including Padma Resort Legian, Padma Resort Ubud, Padma Hotel Semarang, Resinda Hotel Karawang, and Padma Hotel Bandung. Together, these properties share a commitment to creating positive and lasting impacts within local communities.
As part of this commitment, a portion of each registration fee will be donated to Sekolah Pendidikan Luar Biasa (SPLB) Anak dengan Hambatan Intelektual (Tunagrahita) in Cipaganti, Bandung, supporting educational opportunities and development programmes for children with intellectual disabilities.
Through this initiative, participants are not only investing in their own health and wellbeing but are also contributing directly to a meaningful social cause.
Every runner has a reason to start, but the most meaningful journeys are those that create a positive impact on others. Through #LaceUpForChange, Padma Run Bandung 2026 encourages participants to run with purpose while supporting educational opportunities for children with intellectual disabilities in Bandung.
The hills and elevation changes along the course symbolise life’s journey, filled with ups and downs that test resilience and determination.
