After a three-year hiatus, Singapore’s iconic Sundown Marathon is back! Join thousands of people as you follow a route weaving through Singapore’s quintessential landmarks. Here’s everything you can expect and need to know about one of Asia’s biggest night marathons.

What is the Sundown Marathon?

The very first Sundown Marathon was created in 2008 as part of a unique training program for ultra-marathons. Night running was a requisite for these events and Sundown Marathon was first created as practice for the ultra-marathons. Since then, the annual night marathon has grown in strength and number, reaching up to 25,000 participants. The Sundown Marathon is open to all ages, nationalities, and genders, and has four categories: 5 km, 10 km, 21 km, and 42 km.
