KELANA JAYA — CheckPointSpot has strengthened its presence in Malaysia’s running community following its appointment as the Official Race Technology Partner of Royal Klang Marathon in a multi-year partnership with event organiser Monzo Events PLT until 2028.

The partnership was formalised at a signing ceremony held at CheckPointSpot Global HQ in Kelana Jaya, Selangor, where the official Royal Klang Marathon 2026 pacer running kit featuring CheckPointSpot’s branding was also unveiled.

Under the agreement, CheckPointSpot will provide race technology solutions covering online registration, race-pack collection, race timing and results, as well as Racetag AI Photo, which allows runners to search for their race photos after the event.

The collaboration reflects CheckPointSpot’s commitment to supporting running events through technology that improves the overall experience for participants, from the moment they register until they cross the finish line.

Beyond providing race technology, CheckPointSpot will also have a visible presence on the race course through the 36 official pacers participating in Royal Klang Marathon 2026.

The pacers will wear specially designed neon lime and black running kits featuring the CheckPointSpot logo prominently on the front, alongside the Royal Klang Marathon emblem.

The branded running kits will be worn by all 36 official pacers during the race on 22 November 2026, giving CheckPointSpot a presence among runners across the different pace groups.

Pacers play an important role in helping participants maintain a consistent running pace and achieve their targeted finishing times. Their presence also provides guidance and encouragement, particularly for runners attempting their first long-distance race or aiming for a personal best.

By having its branding featured on the official pacer running kits, CheckPointSpot aims to strengthen its connection with the running community while highlighting its role in supporting the overall race experience.

Benjamin Yeow, Chief Executive Officer of CheckPointSpot, said the partnership represents the company’s continued efforts to bring technology closer to runners while supporting the development of running events in Malaysia.

“Pacers help runners stay on pace. As the Official Race Technology Partner, our responsibility is to ensure the entire race experience stays on pace too.

“From registration and race-pack collection to timing, results and race photos, we want runners to have a smooth and enjoyable experience throughout their journey.

“Having our CheckPointSpot logo featured on the running kits worn by all 36 official pacers is particularly meaningful to us. These pacers will be running alongside participants, guiding and encouraging them throughout the race.

“It is a way for our brand to be present with the runners, not just through our technology, but also through the people who support them on the course,” said Yeow.

He added that the partnership through 2028 would allow CheckPointSpot to continue working closely with Monzo Events to support the Royal Klang Marathon’s growth.

“Race technology is not simply about recording finishing times. It is about making the entire running experience more convenient, reliable and enjoyable for participants and organisers.

“We look forward to building a long-term relationship with Royal Klang Marathon and contributing to its growth in the coming years,” he said.

Royal Klang Marathon is the flagship full marathon of the Royal City of Klang, and Monzo Events is working to develop it into a sustainable sporting platform that brings together runners, partners, and the local community.

Mike Lee, Founding Partner of Monzo Events PLT, said the collaboration with CheckPointSpot is an important part of the event’s long-term development.

“Royal Klang Marathon is being built with a long-term vision. It is not merely an annual race, but a sporting platform that reflects the identity, ambition and community spirit of the Royal City.

“Working with CheckPointSpot will help us deliver a more connected, dependable and memorable experience for every runner,” said Lee.

The Royal Klang Marathon 2026 will take place on 22 November 2026 in Klang, featuring running categories ranging from the 5KM Fun Run to the full 42.195KM marathon.

With the partnership extending until 2028, CheckPointSpot will continue supporting the event’s race technology requirements while strengthening its presence within Malaysia’s growing running community.
