Happy New Year! I wish you good health and many personal bests for the year to come.
Recently, Sundown Marathon Signapore announced that registration for their marathons has begun. If you're interested in participating, you can register on their official website.
Initially, I was interested in participating in the 21 km category, but after seeing the price, I think I will skip this event and look for cheaper races. Oh, I emailed Sundown on December 18th to inquire about this event, but they ignored me. I guess it's normal for event organizers to ignore such emails, though.
Anyway, I've compiled the prices for three recent running events for your quick comparison before you sign up for any. It's worth noting that registration fees for running events have consistently increased, possibly due to inflation and the GST hike.
With higher registration prices, we should be more selective when choosing the races we want to participate in.
For your information:
There are only two marathon distances in Singapore: the Standard Chartered Marathon and Sundown Marathon. The former is a morning marathon, and the latter is a night marathon.
If I recall correctly, the cost for running events prior to the pandemic was around this range:
42 km - $2+ per km
21 km - $3+ per km
10 km - $4+ per km"
Regards
