Singapore Half Marathon

Established in 2010, the Singapore Half Marathon is now 16 years old. From its first edition in Singapore, it has evolved into a race that reflects the character of its host region in Singapore.

The fastest time ever recorded at the Singapore Half Marathon is 01:02:45, set by Abdi Nageeye in 2019. Every year, new contenders line up hoping to challenge that mark on the streets of Singapore.

Runners come to the Singapore Half Marathon for one reason: personal bests. The flat, fast course through Singapore has a reputation as a PB factory, with the roads seemingly designed to keep your pace honest and your splits consistent from start to finish.

With average race-day temperatures around 31°C, the Singapore Half Marathon is as much a battle against heat as against distance. DNF rates climb when the sun is out, and smart pacing in Singapore's warmth separates experienced runners from those who went out too hard and paid for it.

For thousands of runners each year, the Singapore Half Marathon is their first half marathon. The combination of a forgiving course, generous time limits, and supportive crowds has earned this race a reputation as the place where marathon journeys begin. The first-timer energy on race morning is palpable.
