Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon

The Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM) is Southeast Asia’s only World Athletics Gold Label race and a fixture on the global marathon calendar. Held annually in early December, it transforms the city into a vibrant three-day endurance festival, featuring a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, marathon relay, and kids’ races. Known for its high humidity and heat, the race is a true test of resilience, attracting elite international fields and dedicated age-groupers alike. SCSM’s route showcases Singapore’s skyline, including landmarks like the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Flyer, and the Esplanade, with the nighttime full and half marathons offering a stunning urban backdrop. Live music, cheer zones, and thousands of spirited spectators line the course, creating an electric race-day atmosphere. Organized by the IRONMAN Group since 2016 and a candidate for the Abbott World Marathon Majors, the event blends world-class production with deep local roots. Pre-race festivities include a bustling expo, while finishers are greeted with an energized post-race zone celebrating their achievement.
