Overview
- The Night Marathon took place on Sunday, September 27, and registered about 9,000 runners with 1,694 in 5 km, 1,794 in 10 km and 5,349 in 21 km categories.
- Organizers — the Ulaanbaatar Governor's Office, Night Marathon LLC and Portal.mn — billed the event as a sport-and-entertainment festival to promote active mobility and reduce private car use in the city.
- The National Meteorological Office forecast mild, mostly dry conditions for Ulaanbaatar (daytime 13–15°C) but issued warnings for rain, wet snow and blizzard conditions in parts of Uvs, Zavkhan and Khovsgol that could make roads slippery.
- The Open Parliament 24-hour hackathon, held Sept. 25–26 and supported by the Parliamentary Secretariat, the Asian funders and Unread Media, concluded with top prizes for AI tools focused on monitoring parliamentary acts and disability inclusion.
- Officials framed the three developments as coordinated public engagement: a city-led push for safer, active transport, real-time safety messaging for vulnerable provinces and a push to pilot AI-driven civic tools to increase parliamentary transparency.
