Sundown Marathon 2012 will take place on 26 to27 May 2012 with a brandnew race route that is set to thrill participants. This is the first--ever marathon that will take runners on a scenic route through the Marina Bay Waterfront area and the western region of Singapore.
Three race routes (42km, 21km and
10km) have been carefully mapped out to let runners conquer the
beautiful urban landscape of The Float@Marina Bay, Fullerton Hotel,
Marina Barrage and the iconic KTM Tanjong Pagar Railway Station.
Another piece of history in the
making for the fifth edition of the Sundown Marathon is the experience
of running along the West Coast Highway, past VivoCity and towards West
Coast Park. Thereafter, runners will make a return trip towards the
finishing point.
The 10km race will flag off at
9.30pm, while the 21km will start at 11.30pm on 26 May 2012.
Participants of the 42km race will take their spot at the starting line
at 12.45am on 27 May.
Over 25,000 participants have
already registered for Sundown Marathon 2012, making it one of the most
eagerly anticipated sporting events on the local sporting calendar. To
welcome more runners, race organiser, HiVelocity Events Pte Ltd, has
extended the registration date to 19 April 2012. The current
registration fees for the three categories stand at S$55(10km),
$65(21km) and $85(42km).
A run at any time of the day can do
you good. But a night run after sundown carries that extra magical feel
to it. Runners will experience a quietness and calmness that comewith
running at night. With the night lights of the majestic Lion City
whizzing past with every step, it will be a night to remember.
“Coming into our fifth edition of
the Sundown Marathon, we wanted a change and allow the runners to
experience and enjoy our unique city skyline at night. Runners can
choose from three challenging distances and routes to challenge their
endurance,” said Mr. Ben Wee, General Manager from HiVelocity Events Pte
Ltd.
“While it is great for runners to
set new personal best timings, the aim of the Sundown Marathon has
always been to promote running as a lifestyle activity that can benefit
both the young and the young at heart. We welcome more runnerson 26 May
and together, we will create a new chapter in Singapore’s running scene
and for Sundown Marathon.” Sundown Marathon 2012 is proudly brought to
