Among today's finishers was Gary Corbitt, Ted Corbitt’s son, who has dedicated much of the 10 years since his father’s death to preserving his father’s legacy. Gary spoke at theNYRRRUNCENTER featuring the NB Run Hubthis week about Ted’s dedication not only to running but to health and wellness (he worked full time as a physical therapist) and to building an inclusive community.

“I had a lot of exposure to road racing back in the late 1950s and early 60s,” said Gary, 66. “A big road race back then was 35 runners, and refreshments were not in the mix—people would run marathons with no water.” We’ve come a long way!
To honor Ted Corbitt's commitment to community health and wellness, NYRR hosted a coat drive to benefitNew York Cares, with drop-offs at theNYRRRUNCENTERduring race week and at today’s race.
Many runners and volunteers rounded out their 2017 racing today, completing their 9+1 with either a run or volunteer stint (THANK YOU!). There’s one final Central Park race left on NYRR’s December calendar: theNYRR Midnight Runon December 31.

Shenzhen is a major city in the Guangdong Province of China and is also a major financial center in southern China.

The Shenzhen International Marathon is an annual event that takes place in the beginning of December. It is a cooler time of the year and really suited for marathon running. Athletes can run in milder conditions and miss the heat of summer.

There are three different events including a full marathon, half marathon, and 6-kilometer race.

Shenzhen International Marathon has become one of China's top 10 influential marathon events, according to statistics from the Marathon Office of China Athletic Association.

Shenzhen International Marathon

(2023) The much-anticipated Shenzhen Marathon featured 20,000 runners on Sunday morning as the annual event finally returned to the subtropical city in Guangdong province after being suspended for three years due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

The government-sponsored Shenzhen Marathon 2022, which was postponed in December, attracted roughly 100 foreign runners from about 25 countries and regions to participate in the event's full and half marathons, according to the organizer.

He Jie, a Chinese professional runner from the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, picked up speed unexpectedly during the last 3 kilometers of the men's full marathon, passing two Ethiopian athletes to finish first with a time of 2:13:29, 21 seconds ahead of the runner-up.

He became the first Chinese runner to win in the men's category of the event, which was originally launched in December 2013.

He, a member of China's national marathon team, said he trained in Kenya last year with foreign runners and had recently completed "effective" winter training.

"I am in good condition today," He told the media after the race. "I am also very confident. I am not afraid to compete with foreign runners."

For the women's full marathon, first place was secured by Adula Askale Alemayehu of Ethiopia, who finished with a time of 2:34:19.

(2018) Attending the Shenzhen Marathon for the first time, He said he was impressed by the beautiful route, which showcased Shenzhen's environmental beauty and its latest developments.(2018) Edwin Kipingetich Koech improved The Shenzhen Marathon´s first ever sub 2:10

The 26-year-old Koech enjoyed a comfortable lead after 25 kilometers and went on to win in 2:09:44. This is his second sub-2:10 run behind his personal best of 2:07:13 achieved in Milan last April. Koech took home a prize of US $20,000.

A leading group of more than 10 runners paced the race in the early stages. Only five men were left when the leaders passed the 20-kilometer mark, and that pack was trimmed to just three runners, Koech his compatriot Samuel Ndungu and Bekele Muluneh of Ethiopia, by the time they hit 25 kilometers in 1:17:09.

After covering the five-kilometer section between 25 and 30 kilometers in 14:41, Koech broke and built up a lead of more than half a minute and never looked back.

Bekele Muluneh improved his PR by 40 seconds to finish second in 2:11:19. Ndungu, a two-time Lake Biwa marathon winner with a PR of 2:07:04, settled for third place in 2:12:15.

Pre-race favourite Seboka lived up to expectations in the women’s race. She won in 2:27:12 to improve on her runner-up finish from last year while taking down the course record of 2:33:25 set by last year’s winner Viktoria Poliudina of Kyrgyzstan.

Seboka broke away from Kenyan veteran Flomena Chepchirchir near the halfway mark and when she passed the 25-kilometer water stations in 1:26:27, the margin had been widened to some 10 seconds.

The 34-year-old Ethiopian kept extending her lead and claimed the convincing win with an advantage of nearly five minutes.

It is Seboka’s second title in China this year as she also won the Dalian International Marathon in 2:28:59 seven month ago. The Ethiopian has finished within 2:30 in each of her three outings in 2018 with a season’s best of 2:25:01 registered in Seoul.

The 37-year-old Chepchirchir, who finished 10th in Shenzhen last year, took second place in 2:32:05, which was her best mark since achieving her PR of 2:23:00 back in 2013. Ashu Kasim of Ethiopia was a remote third-place finisher with a clocking of 2:38:35.

Reggae Marathon
What started as a loose collection of runners at Kingston’s local reservoir, Mona Dam, affectionately called “The Dam”, became a club – the Jamdammers – in June 1995. Over the past years, the Club has grown both in size (over 100 members) and stature by re-writing the book on road racing in Jamaica.The annual Reggae Marathon Grand Prix Series presented by the Jamdammers and our premier event – the Reggae Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K – have become staples of local and international road race calendars.

Despite these lofty achievements, however, one thing remains constant – the Club’s mandate and mission to promote a healthy lifestyle through distance running and to put Negril and Jamaica on the map as a world class marathon destination.

In keeping with the Jamdammers’ overall mandate, the presentation of the Reggae Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K has blossomed into an international event, included in the world’s ten best marathon events.


SINGAPORE MARATHON

Sunday December 7th, 2025
Singapore, Singapore
Distance: Marathon · Half Marathon · Marathon Relay · 10K · Kids Race
Offical Race Web Site

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.

Crossing the Singapore Marathon finish line is an experience like no other, an experience that no one can ever take away from you. Whatever the outcome, YOU ARE A FINISHER.

SINGAPORE MARATHON

(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.
