The Singapore Marathon is an annual international marathon race which is held in December in the city of Singapore. It is an IAAF Gold Label Road Race. It has grown significantly since its inaugural race in 1982 – the 2013 event attracted a total of 60,000 entrants for all categories. There are four separate categories of competition: the full marathon, the half marathon, the 10 kilometres run, and the 10 km wheelchair race. Furthermore, 10 km team competitions as well as a number of short running competitions for children.
Prize money for the full marathon race is divided into three categories: the open prize (for all competitors), the Singapore prize (open to national competitors), and the veteran prize (which acts as a masters competition).
Between 2004 and 2008, it was part of "The Greatest Race on Earth" series of road races, sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank (the other three legs being the Hong Kong Marathon, Mumbai Marathon and Nairobi Marathon).
The times recorded at the Singapore Marathon tend to be slower than those at other marathons as Singapore's climate is usually hot and humid. Kenyans Luke Kibet and Salina Kosgei are the men's and women's course record holders, respectively. The 2006 edition also acted as the country's national championships, with Elangovan Ganesan and Vivian Tan Yoke Pin taking the honours.

(2017 Race report from IAAF) It may have been one of the slowest marathons of her burgeoning career, but Pamela Rotich’s 2:38:31 triumph at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon on Sunday (3) was her first victory at an IAAF Gold Label event.
Compatriot Cosmas Kimutai made it a Kenyan double – the seventh in the past eight editions – by winning the men’s race in 2:22:48 in what was his first race for three years.
The race, despite starting at 4:30am, still couldn’t escape the 28C heat, so times were understandably affected, as is often the case in Singapore. The opening pace wasn’t significantly fast with the lead women going through 10 kilometres in 36:11. There were seven women still out in front as they reached the half-way mark in 1:19:52.
Kenya’s Rebecca Korir and Peninah Kigen were the first to drop back, but compatriots and namesakes Rebecca Kangogo Chesir and Peninah Arusei still featured in the lead pack alongside Rotich and Ethiopia’s Chaltu Waka. The remaining quartet reached 25 kilometres in 1:34:04.
Within the space of five kilometres, the lead pack had been reduced to two women as Rotich and defending champion Chesir passed 30 kilometres in 1:51:51 and 35 kilometres in 2:10:17. Chesir was unable to hold on for much longer, though, and Rotich finally broke away from her opponent with just five kilometres remaining.
Rotich reached the finish line in 2:38:31, the fastest winning time in Singapore since 2012. Although nearly 10 minutes shy of the 2:27:48 personal best she set when winning in Daegu earlier this year, Rotich achieved her ninth successive podium finish in an international marathon.
Chesir completed the race four minutes quicker than her 2:43:04 winning time from last year, but on this occasion had to settle for second place in 2:38:48. Arusei finished third in 2:39:07.
Cosmas Koech Kimutai hadn’t been considered one of the pre-race favourites for the Singapore Marathon. Not only had he not raced at all since 2014, but he set his PB back in 2010. And even then, his 2:09:25 best was only the eighth fastest among the elite entrants. It would have taken a brave person to bet on him.
The opening pace in the men’s race was even more cautious, relatively speaking, than in the women’s. With no one willing to make an early move in the tough conditions, a large lead pack passed through half way in 1:12:00, making it clear that today wasn’t a day to challenge the course record of 2:11:25.
Ten men were still in contention at 30 kilometres, reached in 1:43:11. Kimutai still featured in the lead pack alongside fellow Kenyans Justus Kimutai, Eliud Tarus, Paul Matheka and veteran Mark Kiptoo, the fastest entrant.
With a quarter of the race left, Kimutai made his move and by 35 kilometres had opened up a nine-second gap on Matheka and 2012 Singapore Marathon winner Kennedy Lilan. A 15:55 split between 35 and 40 kilometres meant that Kimutai had increased his lead to 26 seconds with just two kilometres remaining.
He held on to his lead and won comfortably in 2:22:48. Justus Kimutai finished strongly to overtake Matheka in the closing stages and take second place in 2:23:07. Matheka finished third in 2:23:25, 16 seconds ahead of Kiptoo.

In the 2015 edition, the race beat all time records with the best on Spanish soil in history, obtained by the athlete John Nzau Mwangangi with a 2:06:13 crono. In addition, as every year the race surpassed the registered participants in the test with a figure that rose above the 17,000 participants.

Running alongside the Mediterranean coastline, a few meters from the sea, taking place in areas of the city where events such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix and the America`s Cup werehosted are only a few of the attractions awaiting the participants when they takepart in the Valencia Marathon.
The stunning Ciudad de la Artes y las Ciencias (City of Arts and Sciences) will serve as the nerve centre of this prestigious event that promises to be a sporting celebration. This architectural masterpiece will not only be both the starting and finishing points of the race but also, it willbe the site of the numerous parallel activities planned for the big day. Exceed your expectations as you pass over the shimmering blue pools of the Museo de las Ciencias (Science Museum) Príncipe Felipe and celebrate your triumphant return in this unforgettable set
The ValenciaMarathon was first run in 1981, is both a joyous event and one of the highpoints in the Spanish athletics calendar.
Three decades ago, the word Marathon hardly even figured in the Valencian’s vocabulary. Today, thanks to the efforts of various Valencian institutions together with SD Correcaminos (The Roadrunners, sporting association), these 42 kilometres have been adopted as a popular celebration of athletics where professionals and amateurs test to the limit their stamina and powers of personal endurance and perseverance.
What started out at the dawning of the 80’s as little more than a trickle of athletes dodging the local traffic, has now become a grand sporting happening. The Marathon has evolved into the leading event in the world of popular athletics and now forms an integral part in the Valencian social and sporting life.
For these reasons the Valencia Marathon has ceased being merely a challenging athletics meeting to being an all inclusive citizens’ celebration, taking in music and art too, and all this united in support of a group determined runners’ dreams of crossing that hallowed finishing line.
The Marathon sees the ringing in of some important new changes as part of our continuing commitment to furtherdeveloping the race. The event date has been moved to November (to take advantage of the more favourable climatic conditions) and both the starting and finishing lines have been relocated to the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias to ensure that the Valencia Marathon will be one of the most memorable appointmentsfor the participating athletes.

About the course.
Designed to be a course with some hills in it — and to take runners in a northward direction toward the hilly northern sections of the city — the race takes runners by many of San Antonio’s most popular sights.
The race begins near the city’s Henry Gonzalez Convention Center, along Market Street, and then the course heads southwest briefly through downtown San Antonio, weaving through Dolorosa, Flores Street, La Trinidad Street, and East Travis Street (just a block away from the famed Alamo site).
After the first three miles, the course then heads north for the middle portion and a modest uphill climb toward Brackenridge Park, San Antonio’s largest park.
After completing the stretch of the course around the park, runners turn onto Broadway Street, where they run a straightaway for nearly two miles before making a few turns near Lockwood and Dignowity Parks before continuing south down Cherry Street.
Full marathoners continue further south down Cherry Street and into the southern (and flatter) part of the city.
The half-marathoners are almost home, however, and have only two miles more to go to the finish. After the turn on Cherry, half marathoners continue for about half a mile before turning right onto Montana Street. There, runners past the Alamodome before crossing the finish line at the Tower of Americas.
In addition to the full marathon and half marathon for individual runners, the race also hosts a two-person relay for the half marathon, for men’s, women’s and coed teams.
