Danrem's Aide Involved in Marshal Incident at Jogja Marathon

An altercation at the Mandiri Jogja Marathon 2026 involving an aide to the Danrem 072/Pamungkas and a race marshal has drawn public attention after a video of the incident went viral. The dispute arose when the aide attempted to enter the race track without a required bib number, which is mandatory for all participants.

The marshal on duty insisted that the individual leave the track, citing the rules. However, the situation escalated when a participant, identified as a high-ranking TNI officer, Brigjen Yuniar Dwi Hantono, intervened. He repeatedly asserted that the person without a bib was his escort, demanding that the marshal allow him entry into the sterile race area.

This is my escort. This is my escort.

According to the Kapenrem 072/Pamungkas, Mayor Inf Suwito, the incident was a simple misunderstanding that has since been resolved amicably. Both parties have reportedly apologized and forgiven each other. A video accompanying the explanation suggests that the marshal did not recognize the Danrem or his aide, as they were wearing official running jerseys without bibs or official insignia. The Danrem clarified his status as an invited guest, and the aide's presence was explained. The situation de-escalated, and the organizers and marshal extended their apologies, which the Danrem accepted, opting for a familial resolution.

It was just a misunderstanding on the field, and it has been resolved amicably, with mutual forgiveness.
