FOREWORD

Dear runners,

On 1 December 2013, you will be among more than 54,000 runners in the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore

(SCMS) 2013. I wish you all the best for a run that will challenge both your mental and physical limits.

Since its inception, the SCMS has grown tremendously. This marquee sporting event is now one of Asia’s top road races

and it fi rmly holds its place on our nation’s sporting calendar.

The consistent number of runners for the event is testament to its success. It is encouraging to see such a huge number

of runners lining up once again this year. We call the SCMS the ‘People’s Race’ and it is certainly that. The event shows

that sport truly is a powerful platform to break down any perceived barriers. It is also encouraging to see a healthy sporting

culture across all ages, from young participants in the Kids Dash right to senior runners taking part in the marathon.

Beyond local shores, the SCMS also attracts its fair share of international participants. The International Association of

Athletics Federation (IAAF) accorded the SCMS Gold Label status in 2011 and 2012. We are proud to rank alongside other

famous marathon cities such as Beijing, Berlin, Boston, Tokyo and London. This is a refl ection of the commitment and

dedication of all involved in making the event possible, from the sponsors, the thousands of volunteers to the staff of the

Singapore Sports Council.

Sport plays a vital role in shaping the value and character of our people and our society.

The SCMS is an event that perfectly demonstrates this special quality of sport and

I look forward to witnessing it grow even further in years to come.

Have a great run!

Chief Executive Offi cer, Singapore, Standard Chartered Bank

Welcome to the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2013.

 

Since 2002, Standard Chartered Bank has played a part in nurturing Singapore’s passion for running. In partnership with

the Singapore Sports Council, we have helped to build the Marathon into a world class event. The Marathon has attained

the Gold Label certifi cation by the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) for the past two years and it was

also awarded the Best Local Sports Event at the recent Singapore Sports Awards 2013. This year, we are also pleased

to welcome on board Spectrum Worldwide as the event organiser and together, we aim to deliver a quality race to the

runners, supporters, volunteers, corporates and the community.

 

The courage, determination and passion of the runners resonate strongly with what we stand for as an organisation.

It is very much part of our brand promise to be Here for good in the communities we operate. Each year, we are very

encouraged by runners who leverage on the Marathon to raise funds for various charities, and our Standard Chartered

Bank staff runners have also been actively running for good. This year, they have supported a variety of causes including

the Bank’s Seeing is Believing initiative to eliminate avoidable blindness, sports for the visually impaired and underprivileged

youth, and HIV awareness.

 

Whatever cause you may be running for, or if you are simply running for fi tness and fun, event day marks the culmination

of months of training for many, and a full year of preparation for the organisers, volunteers and all who have contributed

to ensure a safe and enjoyable running experience. I would like to thank everyone who has worked tirelessly to make the

Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore such a great success.

 

See you at the start line on 1 December.

Chief Executive Offi cer, Singapore Sports Council

The Singapore Sports Council (SSC) is delighted to welcome you to the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore

(SCMS) 2013.

At SSC we understand the dedication, commitment and hours of preparation required to get ready for your respective

race categories. Whether you’re lining up in the Marathon, Half Marathon, Ekiden, 10km or Kids Dash (750m) category,

I applaud you for joining Singapore’s marquee running event and I wish you all the best.

While you have been preparing diligently for your race, we have also been working hard to enhance the SCMS race so that

you continue to have a safe and memorable race experience. With three different start points located across the island,

the various running routes will take runners along some breath-taking backdrops before ending the journey at the Padang.

I am proud to once again see such strong registration numbers this year. The Ekiden race category sold out on the opening

day of registration while a huge number of runners have graduated from running the Half Marathon in 2012 to testing

themselves with the full 42.195km distance in 2013.

It is also inspiring to see so many older runners register for the Marathon, proving once again that age is certainly no barrier.

We have many runners aged over 70, and a number over 80, who will be running 42.195km and I congratulate them on

their determination and passion.

The Half Marathon and 10km categories also reached maximum capacity prior to the close of registration, while the Kids

Dash (750m) continues to appeal to our young runners and their parents.

A lot goes into planning and delivering a successful SCMS. Spectrum Worldwide was granted full responsibility of organising

the event this year, and we are confi dent that they will build and expand on the

successes of previous editions to provide you with the best race experience

possible.

I would like to thank Spectrum Worldwide for the good work and for engaging

the thousands of volunteers who will be dedicating hours of their own personal

time to contribute to a great run on 1 December. I would also like to express my

gratitude to our fellow Government agencies for their support.

Finally, to all of you who will be racing on 1 December, I look forward to seeing

you at the start line.

Let us all live better through sports!

Managing Director, Spectrum Worldwide (SWW)

Dear runners,

Firstly, congratulations on being part of Singapore’s marquee running event and one of the world’s largest Marathons.

As the offi cial event organiser, our key driving factor during the entire planning process is to deliver the best experience

possible for all participants on Sunday, 1 December.

I’m sure you are all excited the event is fi nally here after your months of dedicated training and preparation. We are

equally as thrilled to now see all the months of event planning come to fruition for the Standard Chartered Marathon

Singapore 2013.

On behalf of Spectrum Worldwide I would like to thank the Singapore Sports Council and Standard Chartered Bank for

their ongoing support in the build-up to this event.

We have also worked closely alongside various Government agencies, authorities and key stakeholders to facilitate the

entire operations including route and venue management. A running event of this magnitude, staged on closed public

roads across Singapore, would not be possible without their assistance.

A special mention must also be made to thank the thousands of volunteers who give up their own time to provide valuable

assistance during the event. Volunteers are integral to the continued success of the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore

so if you have the opportunity to personally thank them on race day, please do so.

Once again, congratulations on being part of this outstanding event and I look

forward to seeing you all on Sunday, 1 December.

It is you, the participant, who is the heart and soul of this event. Keep up the

marathon spirit!

The Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS) is the

nation’s marquee running event and one of the real highlights

of the local sporting calendar. It is owned by the Singapore

Sports Council (SSC) and organised by Spectrum Worldwide

(SWW).

The SCMS was awarded the Gold Label certification by

the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF)

following the 2011 and 2012 editions, placing it alongside

other world-class marathons such as the Berlin, London

and New York City marathons.

This year, Orchard Road, Sentosa and Esplanade Drive

will see the flag offs for the Marathon, Half Marathon, and

10km races respectively.

The various running routes will take participants across

the island and pass some of Singapore’s most iconic

landmarks such as Gardens by the Bay, East Coast Park,

the Singapore Flyer and Marina Bay Sands before leading

to the finish line at the Padang.

The Kids Dash category will offer our young runners a taste

of the main event as they race 750m in the highly popular

category. Another unique category, the Ekiden, will see

teams of six working together to race the Marathon in a

competitive relay format.

As well as devoting time to train for the big event, a large

number of SCMS participants have also dedicated their

run to a special cause this year by raising funds for local

charities on GIVE Asia, the event’s official fundraising

platform.

Every runner will have their own personal motivation driving

them towards the fi nish line on Sunday, 1 December. What’s

yours?

Teresa is the supervisor of the NOVA Learning Intervention Programme at Morning Star Community Services. A

volunteer with the organisation for fi ve years before deciding to become an employee, she says, “The Run for Good

2013 initiative is an excellent way for me to achieve many things. I get to improve my health, have fun with my

colleagues at Singapore’s largest and hippest racing event, and most importantly, raise funds for my favourite cause,

NOVA!”

 

NOVA is the acronym for ‘Nurturing One’s Valuable Attributes’, a learning intervention programme pioneered by

Morning Star Community Services in 2006.

  

NOVA’s individualised learning plan acknowledges that every child is a unique individual and underscores the

philosophy embraced by Morning Star; that a child is more than a student.

 

If anything, training for her very fi rst 10km run has reminded Teresa of another important lesson – routine and discipline.

  

Teresa and 24 of her colleagues and their family members are running to raise funds for the NOVA Fund, a fund

supporting children who require fi nancial aid to enrol in the NOVA Learning Intervention Programme. To donate,

Daniel and Ethan Khor

Daniel (age six) and Ethan (age fi ve) are joining forces in the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore for the third year

running, once again raising funds and awareness for autism.

The brothers, who both have autism, were encouraged by their parents to join the run and dedicate their efforts to the

autism charities. The Khors want their boys to learn the value of perseverance in every endeavour they undertake in life.

In their journey, the Khors have seen how their boys have benefi ted from early diagnosis and early intervention. Through

this fundraising activity and participation in the run, the family hopes to help increase awareness for autism and raise funds

for the autism charities so that more individuals across all age groups can get access to services that the charities provide.

In 2011, the brothers raised $2,500 within a week for the Autism Association Singapore. Last year, they combined their

efforts with their father’s fi rst marathon effort to raise $7,700 for the Autism Resource Centre, within just a month.

This year, the boys hope to cross the $10,000 mark in funds raised for the two charities as well as St Andrew’s

Autism Centre.

Barry Teo and his fi ve workmates from Glencore have formed an Ekiden team and are raising funds for

The SportCares Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Singapore Sports Council.

According to Barry, their participation in this year’s Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore

characterises the company’s ‘work hard, play hard’ motto.

As active pursuers of sports and healthy lifestyles, Barry and his teammates often take part in sporting

events such as the half ironman previously held in Singapore.

The Glencore team’s passion for sports extends beyond its primary function of keeping fi t and relieving

stress to building team spirit, camaraderie and character. Thus, SportCares became the team’s choice of benefi ciary as it shares their beliefs and presents

a great opportunity to let others experience the positive benefi ts that sports contributes to society.

This is their fi rst time running for a charitable cause and they are sure it won’t be their last. Any donations can be made directly to the ‘Glencore Care for

In this year’s Marathon, a total of 43 Offi cial Pacers will provide

participants with a set pace for the duration of their run.

Using the Pacers as their offi cial guide, runners will be able to

cross the fi nish line under their desired time.

All Pacers are experienced marathoners who will allow the

runners to relax and enjoy the race without having to continuously

check their watch or timing device.

The Pacers will be easily recognisable by their bright green

running singlets and different coloured balloons indicating their

pace times (3:45, 4:00, 4:15, 4:30, 4:45, 5:00, 5:15, 5:30)

Spot the PacersIt’s simple! All Pacers will be carrying balloons of the colour representing their pace group so all you have to do is to spot the balloons

when you are at the start line and join our Pacers to follow their pace. These are the colours with the times that go with them:

“People sometimes sneer

at those who run every day,

claiming they’ll go to any length

to live longer. But don’t think

that’s the reason most people

run. Most runners run not

because they want to live longer,

but because they want to live

life to the fullest. If you’re going

to while away the years, it’s far

better to live them with clear

goals than being fully alive in a

fog, and I believe running helps

you do that. Exerting yourself to

the fullest within your individual

limits: that’s the essence of

running, and a metaphor for

life — and for me, for writing as

whole. I believe many runners

would agree” Haruki Murakami,

I’m not the fi ttest kind of person,

not about size, shape or build.

Everyone can start running no

I’d like to take this opportunity

to encourage people in the

running community not to give

I am grateful to be given the

opportunity again to work on

the offi cial Pacer programme

with Journey Fitness Company.

This is my 3rd year running the

Pacer programme, and each time,

I enjoy the opportunity to develop

it further, working with passionate

and dynamic individuals who have

come together with a common

goal to help other runners.

This is one of the best ways

for me to do my part and to give

back to the running community.

The satisfaction comes from

seeing many happy runners

achieving their goals with the

help of the Pacers. I look forward

to the next 16 weeks in 2014.

Running had allowed me to

make like-minded friends who

inspire and motivate me when

I’m running. I want to give back

to the running community by

inspiring more people to take

up running, and motivate others

to fi nish their marathon in good

form. Lastly, I also hope to

encourage more females to take

up running as a sport. Who says

women who exercise cannot be

vain? I’m one very vain example

who loves to look good on and

off the track. So, vain female

runners united!I wanted to pay it forward in this

season of my life. I believe that all

of us can run a better second half

and stronger than the fi rst half. I

want to share this and infl uence

those around me to do likewise;

in life and in a race.

Although it doesn’t have a

Pacing allows me to spread the enthusiasm and magic of the marathon to friends and family

(I already do this today and have infl uenced others to begin the journey to fi tness, health

and competition). I am very happy to talk about the sport and exchange ideas on training,

motivation, sports science and performance. Running is more of a lifestyle than a sport and

many of the lessons learned along the way can be applied to everyday life. I hope to help

many achieve their personal bests during this year’s marathon!

I completed my fi rst full marathon in 2011 with the 4:30hrs SCMS Pacers. I felt that the

encouragement and the sharing of running tips did help new runners like me to fulfi l our goal.

Now in my second year with the SCMS Pacers, I hope to encourage runners once again on

the journey to their completion of the full marathon.

18 M 4hrs 15minsStudent Being a Pacer allows me to contribute to society and do my part as a passionate individual

who has benefi tted greatly from the sport. The wide smiles across the faces of runners when

they cross the fi nish line at targeted timing serves as a reason for us to go the extra mile as

well. The satisfaction that I get from helping various runners in previous races is also one of

the reasons which make me want to continue being a Pacer too.

M So far, running has always been about my targets and what PB’s I would want to set for

myself. For a change, it will not be about catching up and overtaking the person before me,

but I hope to take a different approach, to see other runners’ goals as my goal; helping and

encouraging them to achieve the timing that they have set their minds on.

Being a Pacer is the best way to give back to fellow runners who are trying to achieve

their aim. I have never looked back and have progressed to do other races such as ultra-

marathons since after my fi rst marathon at 2009. I am a living testimony that an average

person can attain extraordinary achievements if he puts in the effort and passion.

M My recollection of running the 42.195km was one that would took an awful long time to

complete. But thanks to the Pacers, I managed to concentrate on the running (while

catching up) and eventually completed my fi rst marathon race. Since then, I have never

stopped and each race make me realised the importance of having Pacers. Now that I’m a

Pacer too, I hope to do the same by helping others fi nish their race beautifully. It is going to

take some grit but we are going to get to the fi nish line together. 

Gideon Ren 29 5hrs 00minsEducator

Running is not just only about racing. I want to be a Pacer to share my experience with

others. Running in a group creates a common goal, in this case a timed goal. You won’t easily

fi nd camaraderie within such a short period. The runners that cross together at their stated

pace are the most appreciative people you will ever come across and now they possess

confi dence to further their running accomplishments on their own. It’s an amazing feeling to

be helping someone do and achieve something that they once perceived as unachievable.

This ability serves as the driving force that propels them to the next level. It’s about how

every ounce of strength, determination and passion put through running gets churns up

into something I can look back and be proud of. Unlike a physical object where you can feel

and touch, it’s feels more like time. Whereby it may seem like it’s just several trivial numbers

thrown together by an automated clock, but each of these numbers, down to the hundredth

of a second has a meaning beyond what anyone can comprehend. It provides me a chance

to feel like a completely different person, a person who inspires others, and whom they strive

to be.

M Running is one of my best ways to de-stress and sort things out during the run. I can also

make use of this time to pray to God. I need to stay healthy as my family and friends depend

on me.

I enjoy racing, but I enjoy pacing even more! It’s an entirely different experience when you’re

helping fellow runners to achieve their Personal Best timings in a race, the satisfaction

achieved from helping these people is rewarding indeed. Pacers are all really friendly people

and they defi nitely help to bond the running community together. Other than races, I also

M I ran with the 4:30 SCMS Pacers last year and they helped me achieve my personal best.

Inspired by what Pacers can do to help runners like myself (those who tend to run too fast

in the beginning), I decided to be one myself. I’m also involved in pacing to motivate more

women to be Pacers. As you can see, there are only four female Pacers out of a total of

more than 40 offi cial Pacers.

*Giving back* In 2010, I was almost gone by the time I hit the 30km mark but I just stayed

with the Pacers and managed to go below 5hrs (which was my target). After the race I felt

really indebted to the Pacers and I hoped that one day I would be able to be in their shoes

to give back to the running community at large. This year, it so happens that I’m fortunate

enough to be in that position to do so. All I would like to do is to inspire and encourage with

the hope that all would have fun in the process. =)

This is my third year as an Offi cial Pacer for the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore.

I have been with the team since 2011 and it has been a great journey with the Pacers and

fellow runners. As a Pacer, we share the fun of running and motivate others when the going

gets tough during the race. The joy and satisfaction from the fellow runners outweighed

the sacrifi ce of personal best timing for the race. We are there to help someone realise their

dream and make their race possible. My personal motto: Aspire to inspire before expire.

How To Wear Your BibYour bib comes attached with the B-Tag timing device (a single use bib-tag from Chronotrack Systems) for the Standard Chartered

Marathon Singapore 2013.

• Display your bib number clearly on the front of your singlet at all times during the race.

• Write your personal details on the reverse side of the bib (eg name, emergency contact number, blood type) with a ball point pen.

• DO NOT REMOVE the timing device from the bib.

• Do not alter, modify, fold or crumple the bib.

• Please ensure the bib is pinned in all four corners.

• Please ensure the bib is not covered (jackets, runner belts, water bottles, etc).

• Please ensure that you run across the timing mats at the Start Point (even if you are late) and on-route as proof of running the

prescribed route. Failure to do so will result in DNF (DID NOT FINISH) or DQ (DISQUALIFIED), and you will not receive any Finisher’s

Medal or Certifi cate of Participation.

Staggered Flag-Offs• Runners from different categories start at different times. Remember to check your start time and arrive at least 30 minutes

beforehand.

• Runners who are late and start in another category will be considered as a non-fi nisher of the race.

• Please listen carefully to instructions when you are in your designated Race Pens.

• The Race Pens are assigned according to your race categories. If you are unsure of which pen you belong to, please queue at the

last pen.

• Please start off in a slow and orderly manner based on your estimated fi nishing time.

• Please observe proper running etiquette – let the faster runners move to the front.

• Please keep to the left side of the running path if you slow down or walk.

• Runners will not be allowed to pass through the Start Line 10 minutes prior to fl ag-off for all categories.

• Runners will be disqualifi ed and no timing will be given if they do not participate in the category that they registered for.

RUN FOR A REASON“To challenge myself and break all my boundaries is my

fi nish line.” Lin Zi Yin Mavis

Pg 37

Here are some reminders on what you should do before you get to the starting line and after the race.

Race Day Tips

RUN FOR A REASON“Run because it is simple and makes you appreciate life

to the fullest.

Run because it makes you come alive.

Run because it gives you a reason and a goal to not

take life for granted.

Run because you love to run.”

Ng Chee Hong

• Take an easy jog to loosen your legs and prepare your

mind.

• Keep yourself hydrated throughout the day.

• Avoid unusual foods i.e. stick to what you have

been eating during training to avoid any stomach

issues that can come with new or unfamiliar foods.

Day Before Race

• Wake up early and have your breakfast 2 - 3 hours prior

to your scheduled start time. This is to ensure that your

food is properly digested before the race.

• Get to the race venue early

• Prior to entering the starting pen, go for a 5 - 10 minute

walk or jog to warm up

Race Day Morning

At the Pens

• Stay calm and visualise your race.

• Do a head-to-toe warm-up with some dynamic

exercises to promote muscle stretch while keeping

blood fl owing to the muscles. Some good examples

include:

• Front leg swings

• Butt kicks

• Knee lifts

• Side leg swings

• Jumping on the spot

• Use petroleum jelly to prevent chafi ng in areas

like inner thighs, under arms and nipples.

• Get to the correct start position according to

your pace. If you are unsure of which pen you

belong to, please queue at the last pen so that

you will not block other runners.

In The Pen

• Pace yourself to ensure you complete the race.

At The Flag-Off

There are two main things you need to be thinking about

when you are running.

• Your intensity. Start at a slower pace and aim to build

your way into the run, fi nishing strong. The tendency in

longer runs is to start too fast and pay for it later in the

race so exercise control and work your way into it.

• Your fuel. Ensure you are consistently taking in your

calories to replace what you are burning. Depending

on weight, experience etc. you should look to be taking

in gel every 45mins or so. Sip regularly on water or

electrolytes.

• Drink throughout the run - never take electrolyte drinks

and gels at the same time.

• When the going gets tough, focus on what you can

control. Think about your technique and your breathing.

The Journey

Celebrate your success.

• Take advantage of the free massage service or go

for an easy walk or jog to help loosen up your

muscles.

• Eat. Ideally you should consume a mix of

carbohydrates and proteins within 30 minutes of

completing your run.

At The Finish Point

Pg 38

Pg 39

It is essential that you are in “tip-top condition” before your race starts. Spend a minute to run through this checklist before you go

the distance. If anything buzzes, consider carefully and decide if you should really race.

Feel lethargic?

Feel feverish?

Feel unwell (headache, sore throat, cough or

runny nose)?

Have the symptoms of heart problems (breathing

diffi culty, irregular heartbeat or chest pain)?

Have signs of stomachache, diarrhoea or nausea?

Have enough rest from the night before?

Feel mentally prepared for the race?

Do I?:

How Fit Do I Feel?

Runners’ Check List

RUN FOR A REASON“Though it’s only 10km for me, it’s just the beginning.

There’s always a fi rst time, which leads to a second and

then a third. It’s a way to put down all work, free the

mind and just enjoy every moment of the race.”

Koh Guang Cheng

Ekiden Race

General Information For Ekiden Runners:The Ekiden comprises of teams of six runners completing the Marathon course with each member running a leg of the course but not necessarily of equal distance. At the end of the race, the team that registers the fastest cumulative time wins the relay.

To qualify for offi cial placing, each runner on a team can only run one leg of the race. Succeeding runners that do not “connect” with his or her preceding team mates (due to diversions, dropouts, etc.) will not be allowed to complete his/her respective leg and the team will be disqualifi ed (DQ).

Event Day Proceedings• Preceding Ekiden runners will be channelled into the Transition Zone.

• Succeeding runners will wait within the Waiting Pens according to their bib number and when the succeeding runner spots his or her team mate approaching, he or she will move to the Changeover Zone to prepare for the transition.

• The preceding runner will hand over the team sash to the succeeding runner within the Changeover Zone.

• Once the transition is completed the preceding runner may then proceed to the Ekiden Shuttle Bus Service Pick-Up Point to board the bus which will bring runners to the Padang.

Note: * Service line number is the same as the runner’s sequence. ** Bus will depart on the listed time or upon full capacity.

Note: #Post-race shuttle service will be available at 20 to 25-minute intervals.

Pre-Race Shuttle Service Route and Frequency

This timeline will help you to estimate where a runner will be at a specifi c time. To co-ordinate your presence at specifi c spots, youneed to know the runner’s estimated completion time for the Marathon.

For instance, the runner expects to fi nish the Marathon in 4 hours 15 minutes. You should refer to the Sub 5 column of the chart. Forexample, you will need to be at The Concourse by 06:11am, and at the fi nish stretch by 10:32am.

This timeline estimate assumes the runner maintains a constant speed throughout the race based on the average completion time.

Alternatively, you can gauge the progress of your friends on race day by using the race tracker on marathonsingapore.com. (Do note that times and positions on race tracker are unoffi cial.)
