Sundown Marathon is in its fifth edition this year, and this is the first ever marathon that will take runners on a brand new scenic race route through the Marina Bay Waterfront area and the western region of Singapore. With the night lights of the majestic Lion City whizzing past with every step, it will be a night to remember.
Three race routes (42km, 21 km and 10km) have been mapped out for runners to take on the beautiful urban landscape of The Float@Marina Bay, Fullerton Hotel, Marina Barrage and the iconic KTM Tanjong Pagar Railway Station.
The 10km race will flag off at 9.30p.m., while the 21km will start at 11.30p.m. on 26 May 2012. Participants of the 42km race will take their spot at the starting line at 12.45a.m. on 27 May 2012.
Over 25,000 participants have already registered, making it one of the most eagerly anticipated sporting events on the local sporting calendar. Due to the overwhelming response, registration date has been extended to 19 April 2012.
Getting There
If you drive, you are encouraged to park at The Furniture Mall, The Plaza, Golden Mile Tower and Keypoint. But if you ask us, the train’s still the preferred mode of transport. Alight at Nicoll Highway Station (Circle Line, CC5) and take a 2-minute walk to Nicoll Highway from Exit A. Fret not, there’ll be directional signs to guide you along.
