Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 15 Unofficial Statistics
The Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2015 was held from 5 to 6 December. Unfortunately, I was unable to participate due to an ankle injury. Nonetheless, I have compiled the statistics (using the published timings).
9,613 runners registered for the marathon this year and 8,973 (93.3%) completed the race. Comparing to the number of people who signed up in 2014, there was a significant decrease in participation by 29% (3,838 participants).
In Year 2015's race, the average timings for male participants to complete the marathon ranged 6 to 6:20h. Whilst the average completion timings for female participants to complete ranged 6:30 to 6:59h, there was no change to the statistics in comparison to previous marathons. (See Standard Chartered Marathon 2014 Statistics & Sundown Marathon 2014 Statistics). Another point to note, 493 participants managed to complete the race after the officially cut-off timing of 8:00 h (i.e. last runner came back at 9:11hr).
* Data used for the computations were from SCMS Results dated 16 Dec 15
The results from the past 3 marathons have repeatedly deduced that our average completion timings have remained at 6 - 6:29 hour. I guess one possible factor that causes the stagnation could be due to the usual hot and humid weather in Singapore.
