Presenting Wellness Yoga and Shake Out Run in the Borobudur Temple Area

PT Aviasi Pariwisata Indonesia (Persero) or InJourney, together with its subsidiary, InJourney Destination Management (IDM) presents a series of pre- event activities for the Bank Jateng Borobudur Marathon 2025. The Borobudur Temple area as an iconic cultural destination and vast green open space provides a different sports experience for sports lovers through the Shake Out Run & Carbo Loading activities and the Wellness Package: Yoga in Borobudur at 07.00 WIB on Saturday, November 15, 2025.

InJourney Destination Management President Director Febrina Intan stated that the Borobudur Marathon pre-event invites the local runner community to experience the harmony of nature and culture in the World Heritage area of ​​Borobudur Temple. This event is not just a physical warm-up, but also a catalyst for the growth of wellness tourism in the Borobudur Temple area.

"We invite our fellow running communities in the area and participants of the 2025 Borobudur Marathon to run around Borobudur Temple for approximately 3 kilometers to experience the beautiful atmosphere here. We ensure participants are well-prepared, not only physically but also mentally, amidst the harmony and coolness of the Borobudur Temple area, which we now maintain as a peaceful green oasis," explained Febrina Intan, in Borobudur, Magelang, Saturday (11/15/2025). 

The Shake Out Run & Carbo Loading and Wellness Package : Yoga in Borobudur activities are specifically designed to integrate physical performance needs with spiritual well-being. Runners who want to experience running in the Borobudur Temple area can join the Shake Out Run & Carbo Loading with tickets priced at Rp225.000. Meanwhile, the Wellness Package : Yoga in Borobudur is priced at Rp275.000.

Shake Out Run participants are invited to run approximately three kilometers at a medium pace around the Borobudur Temple Tourism Park. This session serves to activate muscles and keep runners relaxed before race day.

After running, participants enjoyed a Carbo Loading session at the Manohara Borobudur Cultural Center. Participants were served traditional local dishes such as various godokan (a type of rice with peanut sauce), pecel rice with braised tofu and tempeh, fried chicken, and jakuse herbal tea. This session is an effective eating strategy to maximize glycogen stores, the main fuel for endurance running , to prevent the Hitting the Wall phenomenon , where the body's energy reserves (glycogen) are drastically depleted, causing extreme fatigue and a significant decline in performance during a marathon.

Meanwhile, the practice of yoga at Borobudur complements this physical preparation with a spiritual wellness dimension . The practice of asana and pranayama in yoga can increase flexibility and oxygen efficiency in the body, providing the perfect holistic preparation for runners.

Febrina Intan emphasized that the Borobudur Marathon pre-event serves a dual strategic role: ensuring runners' technical readiness while simultaneously strengthening Borobudur's image as a sports and wellness destination . This moment provides an opportunity to be part of a celebration of a healthy lifestyle and directly supports strategic initiatives to develop a super-priority tourism destination.

"The Borobudur Marathon is an inspiring form of sports tourism , attracting thousands of international and domestic participants seeking not only the challenge of running but also a spiritual and relaxing experience. Local participation is key to creating the welcoming atmosphere that is so characteristic of the Borobudur area," he explained.

The pre-event and the Borobudur Marathon as a whole have had a significant and immediate economic impact on the Borobudur area. InJourney views the Borobudur Marathon as a driving force for the regional economy.

"The presence of thousands of runners, preceded by a series of pre-event activities, created a massive economic boost. Local MSMEs, from accommodations like homestays and food stalls to souvenir makers, experienced a significant surge in demand. We ensure that these economic benefits are distributed evenly, right down to the village level. We hope that all elements of society will play the role of gracious hosts and reap the maximum economic benefits," he concluded.
