BYD Singapore International Marathon presented by adidas

There’s something special about race day in Singapore. The city wakes up a little earlier, the streets feel a little more alive, and thousands of first-timers, seasoned marathoners, and everyone in between, come together with one shared goal: to keep moving forward.

This year, that familiar energy returns with a fresh momentum, as Singapore’s only national marathon enters a new chapter with new organisers and partners on board, including BYD as title sponsor and adidas as presenting sponsor, alongside Standard Chartered as the Official Bank, setting the stage for a refreshed race experience.

A Marathon Designed Around the Runner

This year, runners can expect an experience that is designed around them - one that puts comfort, flow, and enjoyment at the heart of the race.

For the first time, the race introduces a cap of 52,000 participants, a move designed to reduce congestion and create a smoother, more enjoyable run.

More Than Just Race Day

Beyond the race itself, this marathon is shaping up to be more than just a single event - it’s an experience that brings people together. Whether you’re running your first 5km, chasing a personal best, or simply showing up to support friends and family, there’s a shared energy that makes the weekend feel special.

You’ll find yourself surrounded by fellow runners, community groups, and supporters lining the route, turning every step into something bigger than just your own run. It’s these moments, from the start line nerves to the finish line celebrations, that make the experience truly memorable.

In many ways, that’s what this marathon is about. It’s not just the distance, but the people you share it with, and the sense of connection that carries you through.

A Festival-Style Race Weekend

One of the biggest changes is how the race is experienced. Returning to a three-day format, the marathon once again unfolds as a city-wide celebration of running.

From casual evening runs to competitive race distances, the weekend now offers something for every kind of runner:

• Kids’ races kick off the weekend
• Evening 5km and 10km runs offer a more social, accessible vibe
• The half marathon gets its own dedicated spotlight
• The full marathon closes the weekend as the grand finale

This makes the event more inclusive, welcoming runners of all levels.

A Race with Global Credentials

While the experience is evolving locally, the marathon continues to hold strong global recognition.

It remains Southeast Asia’s only World Athletics Gold Label Road Race, placing Singapore among the top-tier international running destinations.

This means runners can expect world-class standards while experiencing the unique energy of Singapore.

Beyond performance, the marathon is also becoming a platform to showcase Singapore itself. There is a stronger emphasis on integrating local SMEs, engaging community running groups, and highlighting Singapore’s culture and cityscape throughout the race experience.
