More than 50,000 runners from 133 countries were registered to participate in over three days of racing at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2019, beginning with the Kids Dash on Friday evening and followed by the featured Half Marathon and Marathon on Saturday night.
Kenyan Joshua Kipkorir was the quickest person to complete the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2019 on 30 November at The Float @ Marina Bay with a time of 2:19:13.
The defending champion led the race from start to finish, making him the second person to defend his title in the region’s only IAAF Gold Label race.
Priscah Cherono made it a double for Kenya as she shattered the course record for the elite women’s category with a time of 2:28:53. Her win bettered Salina Kosgei’s 13-year time by almost three minutes.
In the local categories, defending champion Soh Rui Yong made it a hat trick as he was crowned men’s local champion for a third time with a finishing time of 2:45:52.
For the local women’s marathon category, Sharon Tan won her maiden race with a time of 3:12:52. Tan breaks a two-year run of compatriot Rachel See underlining the highly competitive field of elite women marathoners in Singapore.
