Official schedule: 1–3 October 2026. Dates are from the organiser's announcement. We cannot confirm that the event is running on any particular day.

Running shoes, compression gear, energy gels, muscle rub — shopping that would normally take you to three or four different shops is all in one hall at the KLSCM 2026 Active Lifestyle Expo. The organisers' official floor map lists 55 lines, which comes to 53 separate names once you take out the repeats: ASICS, Brooks and Pressio, Running Lab, 100PLUS, Seiko and Amazfit are all there, with their booth numbers printed next to them. It's on 1–3 October 2026 at MITEC Hall 8, Level 2 (official expo page, official floor map and exhibitor list).

At a glance

  • Hours: 11:00–21:00 on Thursday 1 and Friday 2 October, 10:00–19:00 on Saturday 3 October. Official expo page
  • Admission: as of 22 September 2026, the organisers' website carries no admission price. Official expo page
  • Where: MITEC Hall 8, Level 2, Jalan Dutamas 2, Kompleks Kerajaan, 50480 Kuala Lumpur
  • Who it's for: anyone shopping for shoes, gels, a running watch or recovery kit. The organisers say the exhibitors and vendors come from the running, sports and lifestyle sectors; how the race days themselves are run is not something this page covers
  • Getting there: the venue's own travel page puts KL Sentral to MITEC at 11.5 km and 28 minutes by train and bus, and KL city centre to MITEC at 16.3 km and 41 minutes. It doesn't name the nearest MRT or LRT station, so work out where you'll switch to a bus or taxi before you set off; if you're driving, neither official source says anything about parking or parking charges.

  • Also in Hall 8: the official floor map marks off a Race Entry Pack Collection area for runners, and carries a To Expo arrow

What to look for

  • The nine sponsors the organisers name are all on the map: the organisers write that this year's sponsors will be there, naming Standard Chartered Malaysia, ASICS, IHH Healthcare, Counterpain, Dynamo, High5, 100PLUS, Seiko and TudungPeople.

Official floor map and exhibitor list
  • ASICS alone holds 16 booth numbers, more than any other name on the list: the map labels 20-29 and 53-58 together as one area. If you're going mainly to try shoes, write both ranges down.
  • The running specialists, and the numbers worth writing down: Running Lab at 36-39, REV RUNNR at 112, 2XU AND ALTRA RUNNING at 113, BROOKS AND PRESSIO across two stands at 65, 66 and 75, 76, PURPOSE PERFORMANCE WEAR at 30, 31, BINTANG ATHLETICS at 59, 60 and LM SPORT at 111. If you want to try several brands in one trip, keep these numbers on your phone.
  • Fuel, recovery and the small stuff too: N8 SPORTS NUTRITION at 09-12, AMINOVITAL at 13, OPTIMUM NUTRITION at 62, CHIMPANZEE NATURAL SPORTS NUTRITION at 40, BEOKA at 34, 35, sports rehab clinic DYNAMIQUE SPORTS REHAB CENTRE at 96 and PEAKFLOW NOSE STRIP at 91. For headphones and watches, SHOKZ is at 73, AMAZFIT MALAYSIA at 107 and HYDROFLASK at 45.
  • Merchandise at 108 and 109, charities at 102 and 103: KLSCM MERCHANDISE takes 108 and 109, which is where the event tees and caps are. A little earlier on the list, KECHARA SOUP KITCHEN SOCIETY is at 102 and YAYASAN JANTUNG KONGENITAL MALAYSIA at 103.

Tips

  • Collecting a race pack and browsing the expo are two different things: the organisers set out collection times on a separate page — 11:00–21:00 on 1 and 2 October for all categories, and 10:00–19:00 on 3 October for the Full Marathon and ASICS Half Marathon categories only. Bring the e-confirmation slip with its QR code and your IC or passport; you can also send someone on your behalf, and the organisers write that a representative who is a registered runner themselves may collect up to three packs including their own. The same page says packs cannot be collected at the event venue. Official race pack collection page Official floor map and exhibitor list
  • The booth numbers are only on that one map, so check it again before you go: names and numbers are printed on the same official map, so open it again before you set off in case the organisers have updated it. The entrance and exit are marked on it too, so you can decide which end to start from.
  • The last day closed early: 21:00 on 1 and 2 October, but 19:00 on 3 October, two hours earlier.
  • The organisers say one line about offers and nothing more: they write that there are exclusive offers and promotions throughout the event, without naming a single brand or deal. Ask at each stand instead of planning your spending around that one line.
