Location: Singapore
SINGAPORE — Road closures and diversions for the first evening Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM) race will progressively begin from 1pm on 30 November.
Organisers Ironman Asia and Sport Singapore added in a joint media release on Tuesday (12 November) that they will progressively re-open affected roads from as early as 9pm on the same evening, to enable the earliest access possible and minimise inconvenience to road users.
The 42.195km marathon will be part of a three-day SCSM event schedule, starting on 29 November with the Kids’ Dash at the Formula One Pit Building. There will be no road closures or diversions during this event.
The marathon, the 21.1km half-marathon and the Ekiden relay races will be held the next day, starting from 6pm at the F1 Pit Building. The end-point is at The Float, and the cut-off time for the marathon and relay will be set at 2.30am early on 1 December morning.
On the final day of the SCSM on 1 December, the 10km race will start at 6.30am, while the new 5km category will begin at 8.30am. The events are scheduled to be completed by 10am.
Organisers said that road-closure information will be clearly communicated and traffic wardens will be deployed at all affected roads to help re-direct traffic and to assist the public to find alternative routes to their destinations.
Re-directional signs will be put up along the roads from next Monday. The public are advised to take note and make alternative travel plans during the race dates.
Dear runners,
Thank you for your participation in the Sundown Marathon. There were issues encountered by some runners this morning and we would like to address these concerns. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
There was a delay to the flag-off for the 21.1KM Half-Marathon and 42.195KM Full-Marathon. The delay was due to an unforeseen obstruction on route which had to be cleared to ensure the safety of the runners. The race was flagged off once the route was cleared and additional post-race shuttle services were provided to cater to the delay.
There was also a lack of water supplies at 3 hydration stations along the run route this morning and it affected some runners across the Half/ Full- Marathon categories.
The shortage was due to some logistical issues of the deployment of the water. Upon being alerted of the issue, we dispatched additional supplies of water immediately to the affected hydration stations. Unfortunately, the new supplies did not reach the hydration stations and runners in time.
These issues should not have occured, and we sincerely apologise for these issues encountered by the runners.
We will be looking into it and will prevent them from happening again in future races.
