Singapore Marathon

The Singapore Marathon is a staple on the Singapore running calendar and is usually held on the first Sunday of December each year.

Each year, the race takes runners past some of Singapore’s most iconic landmarks, including Gardens by the Bay, Orchard Road and the Esplanade and is a great way to challenge yourself with friends and family!

The event usually comprises some races varying in length and difficulty: Marathon, Half-Marathon, 10km and 5km. There is also a 600-metre Kids Dash for kids up to 13. Up to 50,000 runners are expected to participate in this event, so register early to secure your place.

Challenge yourself with the Full Marathon and finish strong as runners race through the city with one goal in mind. Participants must complete the entire course within 7 hours and 30 minutes from their start time to attain a medal.

The Marathon route will start at the F1 Pit Building, leading runners to the iconic Singapore SportsHub before returning to the heart of the Civic District and Central Business District of Singapore. The runners will head into the cool, shady East Coast Park (ECP) at the 21km mark. The route through ECP also allows supporters to cheer runners on.

Half marathon runners will enjoy views of the iconic Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore Sports Hub, and the Padang, which has recently been gazetted as Singapore’s 75th national monument. Runners will pass famous landmarks within the Central Business District, including Singapore Flyer, Merlion, Esplanade and more.
