Equatorial Plaza Glowing in Blue and Green for KLSCM 2025

30 September 2025 – Standard Chartered continues its proud legacy as title sponsor for the 17th consecutive year of the Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon (KLSCM), one of Malaysia’s most anticipated annual sporting events. Taking place on 4–5 October 2025, the marathon brings together runners from across the globe, embodying values of endurance, resilience, and unity.

In celebration of this milestone, Equatorial Plaza will be illuminated in Standard Chartered’s iconic blue and green hues from 3:30 AM to 7:00 AM on 5 October. The special lighting display will transform the building into a glowing beacon in the city centre—honouring the participants and energising the atmosphere as Kuala Lumpur wakes up to the spirit of the marathon.

For EQ, the prestigious hotel of Equatorial Plaza, the marathon’s values are core to its own philosophy: its story is one of profound endurance and resilience, rooted in its legacy as a local hotel established in 1973 that successfully competes against international brands. This strength is evidenced by its accolades as the #1 City Hotel (Malaysia) for four consecutive years and the #1 rated hotel in Kuala Lumpur on TripAdvisor for six years since 2019. This drive is matched by a spirit of unity—the foundation of the guest experience—by treating visitors like family with genuine warmth and integrating itself as an essential part of the neighbourhoods fabric.

Take a moment to capture the vibrant display and join in the celebration of this remarkable event that continues to inspire health, connection, and community pride.
