KL Car Free Morning will not run on Sunday 8 November 2026. The working committee cancelled the weekly 07:00 to 09:00 circuit because Deepavali falls on that Sunday, and Monday 9 November is a replacement holiday in Kuala Lumpur. paultan.org published the notice on 6 November 2026, citing the committee.
Office joggers who use the 7 km loop to reach Jalan Ampang and the KLCC corner should treat city roads as normal traffic this morning. Dataran DBKL stays a traffic node, not a start line. If you still want a park lap, Taman KLCC's 1.3 km rubber track is the weekday habit anyway. It does not need a road closure.
What was cancelled, and what still stands
The official KL Car Free Morning site still describes the standing pattern. Every Sunday, 07:00 to 09:00, no sign-up. First and third Sundays of the month usually run 7 km and reach the modern skyline around KLCC and Jalan Sultan Ismail. Second, fourth, and fifth Sundays usually run 5 km and skip that KLCC corner.
8 November 2026 is the second Sunday of November, so the cancelled session would have been a 5 km day, not the 7 km KLCC loop. The next 7 km Sunday on the calendar is 15 November 2026, the third Sunday, unless the organiser posts another notice. Weekly facts sit on the KL Car Free Morning event page. This article is only the Deepavali cancel and what that does to a KLCC Sunday.
Why a Deepavali Sunday puts cars back on the circuit
Deepavali 2026 is Sunday 8 November. Many states, including Kuala Lumpur, list Monday 9 November as a replacement holiday. The committee has cancelled for other reasons this year too. On 10 October 2026 The Star reported the 11 October session was called off because of haze and a rising Air Pollutant Index. Cancellations are real. Do not assume every Sunday is on.
Parking around Dataran DBKL is irrelevant this morning because there is no circuit. If you drive to Suria after 10:00, use the mall's Sunday and public-holiday parking table: first three hours RM5. The mall itself stays 10:00 to 22:00 through Deepavali. Hours are on /suria-hours. Twin Towers on Monday 9 November follow the public-holiday Monday exception on /twin-towers-hours.
15 November, if you wanted the KLCC corner
Show up at Dataran DBKL. No registration. Own pace. Flat paved roads. Families, runners, cyclists, rollerskaters. The official site says the 7 km route usually passes heritage streets near Dataran Merdeka, Jalan Raja, Jalan Tun Perak, then the skyline around KLCC. Bring water. A rain page exists on klcarfreemorning.my. Confirm the Sunday on the official site the night before. The 8 November cancel did not include a published make-up date.
