Large-Scale Marathon Timing Operations Resume in Myanmar
After a period of absence, CheckPointSpot returned to Myanmar in February 2026 to deliver professional race timing services for two national-level events — the Yoma Mandalay International Marathon and the Yoma Yangon International Marathon.
Across Mandalay and Yangon, the two marathons collectively attracted more than 10,000 runners, signalling renewed momentum for organised mass-participation road races in the country. The February deployments marked the resumption of structured race timing operations following a multi-year hiatus.
“The Yoma Mandalay International Marathon marked the first of two national-level deployments in February 2026. The event drew strong participation and required full race timing setup and results processing to support large-scale operations in northern Myanmar.”
For both events, CheckPointSpot was responsible for complete race timing setup and results processing, ensuring accurate and reliable race outcomes at scale. The deployments were executed using the same operational standards applied across the company’s regional portfolio, with systems and workflows aligned to international marathon timing practices.
The successful execution of two large-scale marathons demonstrates the company’s ability to re-deploy race technology services efficiently in markets where endurance events are re-establishing operational consistency. It also reflects the continued commitment of local organisers and partners to deliver professionally managed races for the running community.
CheckPointSpot’s involvement in Mandalay and Yangon forms part of its broader Southeast Asian footprint, where the company continues to support organisers through dependable, technology-driven timing solutions. The February engagements further reinforce operational readiness to deliver mass-participation timing services across diverse environments.
“The Yoma Yangon International Marathon concluded the February deployments, contributing to a combined participation of more than 10,000 runners across both events. The race demonstrated the continued demand for professionally managed mass-participation road events in Myanmar.”
