After a run in Malaysia, your photos are usually in one of three places: the organiser's official photo platform, a marketplace where independent photographers sell their galleries, or the photographers' own social media pages. Start with the organiser, then search by event name.
1. The organiser's official photo page
Some large races run an official photo platform and announce it on their website or in the post-race email. If your race has one, that is where the official photographers' photos are, and it is the first place to look.
2. Photo marketplaces
Most Malaysian runs, from fun runs to half marathons, are covered by independent photographers who stand along the route and sell their photos afterwards. They publish their galleries on a marketplace so that runners can search instead of scrolling.
On Fotto, every event has one page that holds the galleries of every photographer who shot it:
- Open the events list and find your run.
- Search by selfie or bib number. One search covers all the photographers at that event.
- You see the possible matches and confirm which photos are yours before you buy.
No account is needed to search or buy.
3. Photographers' social pages
Photographers often post a link to their gallery on Facebook, Instagram or in running groups the same evening. If you remember where a photographer was standing, their page will usually link straight to the gallery.
When do photos appear?
Photographers usually publish the same evening or the morning after. If the event page says photos are not up yet, leave your bib number and email there and you get one email when photos matching your bib appear.
If you cannot find yourself
- Try both search methods. A selfie finds photos where the bib is hidden; a bib number finds photos where your face is turned away.
- Use a clear, front-facing selfie in good light.
- Not every photographer at a race uses the same platform. Check the organiser's page and the photographers' own pages too.
Paying and downloading
Each photographer sets their own price, and you see the total before paying. On Fotto you pay in ringgit by FPX, DuitNow, card or e-wallet, then download the full-resolution photo without the watermark. If you lose the download link, use Lost your link?.
