About Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2011
Organised by the Singapore Sports Council (SSC), the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS) is Singapore’s marquee running event, and is one of the highlights of the local sports calendar for 2011.
The event will feature three different start points and routes for the Full Marathon, Half Marathon and 10km, providing scenic views of Singapore’s iconic landmarks.
The Kids Dash also offers aspiring little runners the chance to experience the Marathon, while the Ekiden promises to foster both teamwork and strategic planning among a team of six runners completing the Full Marathon in a relay format.
A new non-competitiverace category, the 5km Fun Run, will be making its debut at Singapore's marquee running event to further cater to runners of all ages and levels. This category also presents a great opportunity for family members and friends to bond through a recreational run.
The race is dedicated to help the less fortunate by raising funds for selected beneficiaries through the "Run for good" charity programme.
