ForewordDear runners

On 2 December, you will be running the Standard Chartered Marathon

Singapore, one of the top road races in Asia. It is a run that will test your

endurance and grit. To family and friends, you will no doubt be an inspiration.

Over the years, this marathon has captured the hearts of runners across

Singapore. We call it the People’s Race, because it continues to attract scores

of people and brings the community together. It started with just about 6,000

participants back in 2002. This year, more than 50,000 will be taking part in

the run. It is heartening to see this healthy sporting culture growing among us.

The International Association of Athletics Federations has accorded the

Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore a Gold Label certification in 2011.

This puts Singapore in the ranks of cities such as Beijing, Berlin, Boston,

Tokyo and London. It is a reflection of the quality of the race, both in terms of

its organisation and participation. The event attracts runners from around the

world. You can look forward to running alongside some of the best.

The race could not happen without the involvement of the many volunteers,

who have been working hard to ensure that you will have an optimal running

experience. I would like to offer my heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers for

your commitment and contributions. I would also like to thank our sponsors

and partners who have contributed to the success of this event.

Sports play an important role in our society, whether you are a runner, a

spectator cheering your favourite athlete or team, or a volunteer. It has the

ability to inspire the human spirit and to bring people closer together. The

Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore is an event that exemplifies this

special quality of sports.

Have a great run!

Welcome to the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012.

Since 2002, Standard Chartered Bank is proud to have played a part in

nurturing Singapore’s passion for running. Whether you are an experienced

marathoner aiming for your personal best, or running with family and friends

for fun and to stay fit, there is every reason to run in the Standard Chartered

Marathon Singapore.

 

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 where we operate. Just

as the runners are determined to finish the race well, we are committed in

our partnership with the Singapore Sports Council to deliver a quality race

and to bring together runners, supporters, volunteers, corporates and the

community.

 

Each year, we are encouraged by runners who leverage on the marathon

to raise awareness and funds for various charities. This year, I am extremely

pleased that a group of Standard Chartered Bank staff have come together,

not only to raise funds to develop a sports club for the visually impaired,

but to also run as sighted guides to several visually impaired runners at the

marathon. They have been training together and getting to know each other

better for the past three months, and I am proud of their commitment and

achievements.

 

Event day marks the culmination of months of training for many, and a full

year of preparation by the organisers, volunteers and many others 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 a great success.

 

See you at the start line on 2 December.

The Singapore Sports Council (SSC) is delighted to welcome you to the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS) 2012.

We are proud that our marathon was awarded the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Gold Label status following the 2011 race. It is a fitting accolade for a race that has grown to become Singapore’s annual marquee running event.

At SSC, we know that marathon running is no easy feat. It requires tenacity, resilience, commitment and enduring preparation. Similarly, the work on the 2012 SCMS began from the day after the last one in 2011. As we made our plans, we took on board your feedback to ensure a more enjoyable race experience. As the largest running event during the festive season in Singapore, we will build on the spirit of the season to add to your cheer.

In addition to adopting a festive theme, we will also be introducing some new enhancements: Cheer Mobiles to ferry your friends and family to different spots on the route to cheer you on; the BMW Cheer Video screens programmed to broadcast personal video clips from your supporters urging you to stay the course as you approach the waypoint; and finally encouragement messages on the distance markers from fellow participants. On the full marathon route, look for this message at the 21km-mark from Joel Ee, “I didn’t do this to quit halfway. Let’s do this!” Thank you Joel!

With more than 4,500 volunteers as well as 22 sponsors and partners, the SCMS exemplifies how our partnerships in sport can create more opportunities for people to live better. A special mention must go to our long-standing title sponsor, Standard Chartered Bank. With your support, the SCMS has grown into a Sporting Singapore icon and one of the top marathons in Asia.

I would also like to express my gratitude to my organising committee, our fellow government agencies and the thousands of volunteers for their hard work and dedication. Your commitment to community service enables us to scale new heights at SCMS each year.

To all our runners, I applaud your determination and competitive spirit. See you at the start on 2 December. As Vision 2030 encourages us: Live Better Through Sports!

The Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS)

is Singapore’s marquee running event and one of the

highlights of the local sporting calendar every year. It is

organised by the Singapore Sports Council (SSC).

The SCMS was awarded the Gold Label certification by

the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF)

after last year’s edition, raising it to be among the levels of

the Berlin, London and New York City marathons.

Orchard Road, Sentosa and Esplanade Drive will see the

flag offs for the Full Marathon, Half Marathon and 10km

races respectively.

Featuring different routes across the various categories,

runners will pass by some of Singapore’s most iconic

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

the Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay Sands and the Padang.

The popular Kids Dash will offer our younger runners a

taste of the Marathon while the Ekiden fosters teamwork

among teams of six runners completing the Full Marathon

in a relay format.

For the second year running, the SCMS offers runners the

opportunity to raise funds for their chosen local charities

through the SCMS 2012 Official Charity Fundraising

Platform, GIVEASIA.org.

Every runner has a reason to be at the start line on Sunday

2 December. What’s yours?

Run For Good

Running for SportCares

Running for Cancer

“I’m running to raise awareness for others who may not be as fortunate as I am, others who did not have a choice and are born with a cleft. Operation Smile was founded on the belief that no children should suffer or die because of a facial deformity. And with your help, they can lead better lives.”

Born with a cleft lip, Mike Cheong, 29, has experienced first-hand the series of surgeries, speech therapy and support a child needs to physically and emotionally live with this deformity.

“I was fortunate to have the financial and emotional support to receive medical treatment at birth. I cannot imagine how a child, with no choice of his or her being born with this deformity, will be able to talk, eat and live properly without proper treatment.”

Other than the initial surgery at birth to close the palette, Mike also went through a second operation to repair a cavity in his upper mouth when he was 10 years old, wore braces for five years (much longer than the average person) and had to undergo speech therapy to correct a lisp.

Since 2007, he has enjoyed participating in long distance races and has decided to run for Operation Smile at the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012.

Age, as they say, is just a number. For 101 year old Fauja Singh, it is just another remarkable statistic for the world’s oldest marathoner who proves that one can never be too old to pick up the sport.

Born on 1 April 1911, Fauja completed his first full marathon at the 2000 London marathon aged 89 and went on to set the marathon world record for above 90s at the 2003 Toronto Waterfront Marathon with a timing of 5hr 40 mins.

He became the first 100 year old to finish a marathon in Toronto last year and to date, has completed nine full marathons including the latest London Marathon in April this year. As a 100 year old, he also set eight world records for his age group in one day for distances ranging from 100m to 5,000m.

Fauja will be running the 10km at the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012 and he will be doing so to raise awareness for the SportCares Foundation which leverages on the power and positive impact of sport to improve the welfare of Singaporeans who are underprivileged, disadvantaged or disabled.

Fauja’s running coach Harmander Singh remarked, “We aim to do something for the local community wherever we go. Fauja chose to raise awareness and funds for the SportCares Foundation as he believes in this movement which utilises sport to improve the lives of the less fortunate.”

“Cancer has slowed me down, but has not stopped me.”

Having completed six months of chemotherapy just weeks before last year’s Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore, Carolyn Soemarjono, 44, was determined to complete it by brisk walking.

Not only did she finish all 21.1km, Carolyn raised $6,000 for the Singapore Cancer Society. And she’s willing to do it all over again.

“This year I want to RUN the entire 21km. I’m able to do 12km in my training now, and plan on running the whole distance in December.”

“Raising money for the cancer society felt like the right thing to do. I felt so lucky and fortunate that I had the means to take time off from work. I had the means to ensure that my medical bills were paid. I had a lot of support around me, financially and emotionally. The Singapore Cancer Society helps those people that do not have that level of financial or emotional support. So I really believe it is the number one charity that I could help to support.”

Pacers - Your Inspiration

Pace time Name Sex Age Profession Reason To Be A Pacer

03:45 Oh Zhi Jie M 25 SAP Consultant I like the structured training and the camaraderie of fellow pacers the programme provides. I see being a pacer as a way of contributing to the running community.

03:45 Eddy Herbert M 31 Sales & Marketing

I would like to motivate friends and fellow runners to achieve their personal best time and optimal fitness.

03:45 Lars Fischer M 43 Director Being a pacer is a good way of sharing your passion with other runners and help them to achieve their personal targets. I have been lucky that I could improve my personal bests over time and think that pacers have helped me to achieve that, which I would like others to achieve as well.

04:00 Andrew Cheong

M 46 Regional Manager

To serve the running community and help others achieve their marathon time goals. I firmly believe that running an even paced or negative split marathon is the best way to achieve an optimal result.

04:00 David Chung M 42 IT Program Manager

I successfully completed my duty as a SCMS 2011 pacer, but there are still bits of "unfinished business" and lots of room for improvement - for e.g. learn how to interact more with runners and be more encouraging during the run, run at an even more accurate and even pace, rely less on Garmin and technology, etc. So, I want to try and improve this year. And, of course, the camaraderie of the pacer team and personal rewards is priceless!

04:00 Arnel Villamin M 47 Accountant Being a pacer is another level of experience for a marathoner. This is another factor that would complete me as a runner. To be able to encourage other runners is to me living up to my belief that "Running is not only about Race, but more importantly how we care for fellow runners".

04:00 Shamshul Bin Eman

M 45 Cabin Crew To lead and share the emphatic feelings of crossing the finishing line.

04:15 Gary Tan M 42 Remisier I would like to leverage on last year’s pacing experience to enhance and add value to the overall pacing process for this year’s marathon.

This year, the BMW Run Efficient Pacers Programme is designed to provide Full Marathon runners with the means of keeping track of their progress throughout the race. Using the Official Pacers as their guide and coach, runners will be able to relax and enjoy the race, knowing that experienced marathoners are looking out for them and moving them through the course at a steady pace.

There will be close to 40 BMW Run Efficient Pacers for the Full Marathon this year. They will be easily recognised by their white 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:

I have a passion and I am keen to share. I have paced a friend at a marathon last year and we went until he went into cramps and I had to stop and go at his pace till the finish line. It was a great experience. I wish to renew this experience with a broader group and take as many as possible to the finish in their target time.

04:15 Chong Chung Fat

M 52 Construction Safety Director

At my age I need proper training and would like to encourage more people to run. Running in a group is more fun and it’s good for me to try being a pacer.

04:30 Pek Zhenqiang M 29 Civil Servant Love to be instrumental in sharing my expertise to motivate fellow runners to enjoy running and run safely. With such a great opportunity as a pacer it definitely gives me the most satisfaction apart from just attaining a personal best timing for myself in SCMS 2012.

M 50 Baker Last year was a fun and enriching experience. I had a blast at last year’s event and want to contribute once again to the success of the pacer programme.

04:45 Robson Koh Chen Lee

M 41 Architectural Designer

I find that running a marathon is a combination of both mental and physical challenges that one needs to overcome; it is the determination and endurance that will lead you to a great achievement. As long as you believe you can do it, it is not impossible too. Having passion and a chance to be a pacer would allow me to have the opportunities to run and share my experiences with other runners, it would be indeed a very satisfying and fulfilling feeling in helping others and to see them achieving their target timing. I hope to be able to inspire and contribute to the running community. Not only to make running as one of their regular forms of exercise, but running a marathon is possible. I wish to see many runners achieving their goals when crossing the finishing line with joy and emotions, and we can say to them: “You guys have made it!”

04:45 Alan Tan Joo Lye

M 36 IT Services Technician

I hope to give back to the running community in the form of pacing and to share with them my knowledge and experiences.

Runners at the race can expect me with more words of encouragement and cheering along the way! Steven Tan

04:45 Sebastian Soo Ley Gio

M 29 Civil Servant I hope to inspire more people to keep running! I managed to convince a group of friends to join their first marathon last year but many of them stopped running after that. I figured that it is due to the lack of training plans, so I hope to further gain more knowledge to build up training for this marathon and get my friends and others back on track to running! I hope I can motivate my students and other colleagues to keep running for life!

05:00 Gideon Ren M 28 Educator I am passionate about working with people to achieve success in the things we do. I believe that I am able to inspire along the journey of training and race, and get to the end line together with people for that mountaintop experience of satisfaction. I believe I am able to contribute with my mental strength and encourage others to be better as we run the distance. I hope to help others enjoy their journey and believe that running a marathon though long spanning, can be filled with fun and motivation.

05:00 Steven Tan M 36 IT Attempting SCMS 2012 shall mark my 7th marathon. I understand that it will not be my race but everyone’s race, to keep pacing and motivate runners cheerfully along the way, hoping it helps to strengthen them mentally and push their endurance to complete the race. Runners at the race can expect me with more words of encouragement and cheering along the way if they need a boost mentally. Last of all, I wish to achieve a sense of accomplishment as a pacer role again and hopefully to know more friends/pacers with running passion and to train as a pacer group together.

05:00 Gu Si Jie M 26 Civil Servant I have experienced first-hand, the benefits of a good marathon. As a pacer, I hope all runners can count on me to experience the same great satisfaction and joy too. From all my training runs and marathons, I know the importance of a good running buddy. As a pacer, I will not only set a consistent and good pace. I will also strive and put in effort to be a good running buddy to the runners. When they feel like giving up, I hope to be the one to encourage them to push through the pain and reap the rewards. I understand that there will be a high level of commitment needed as a pacer. Since I am already spending time training on my own, why not commit myself as a pacer and deepen the meaning behind my training?

05:00 Khoo Zhihao Sky

M 29 Running Coach My objective for being a pacer is to inspire everyone to keep running and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, as a pacer, I will be encouraging fellow runners in their quest to achieve their desired personal race target as I always believe encouraging someone will eventually save their life.

05:00 Irene Yap F 45 Administrative Assistant

To motivate and push other runners to achieve their goals for the race.

05:15 Quek Ai Ling F 43 Retired Through the years, I developed an instinctive feel of the pace I run and I need to be consistent, to be a pacer for a long run.

05:15 Jack Kong Zi Long

M 26 Teacher Being an educator, I believe in what motivation can do for us. Being a pacer for something I really love doing would realise not only my personal aims to become one, but also my needs to be altruistic to others around me who share my passion but just need a little encouragement to move along.

05:15 Andy Ng M 31 Civil Servant Running is in my blood. It’s something that I love to do and will always do whenever there’s a chance. After numerous operations on my head and leg, I am still running. I am a living testimony that “where you put your heart, you will find a way”. So keep running and feel the difference it makes. See you all at SCMS!

05:15 Charles Chng M 39 IT Manager I had a great experience as a pacer previously. In addition, pacing is also a great way to contribute to the running scene in Singapore.

05:15 Lance Sum M 29 Aspiring Marketer

I started running as a slow runner but through the inspiration from friends and runners around me, I improved and loved the sport. I am inspired and love to pass the inspiration onwards to other runners.

05:30 Tan Heng Hock, Jason

M 39 Executive Manager, Financial Services

Sharing the joy of running, motivate when the journey feels daunting, and always be there at the toughest stretch of a race.

05:30 Chew Sook Fun

F 24 Engineer I wish to motivate and help runners to complete the race within the pace time I'll be doing. Make new friends along the way. Sometimes it's a road too lonely to go on on their own, might as well follow us and have a rocking good time.

05:30 Andrew Lee M 39 Civil Servant Since I’ve been a race participant all this while in races and also completed an ironman race in 2011, I would like to try something different for 2012. I want to be on “the other side” of races and if possible, give my share back to the sporting community. Other than being a race volunteer, the idea of being a pacer was just perfect. Ever since I started marathon races, I have always wanted to be pacer one day. I get to run, and I get to “provide a service” at the same time. Just a perfect culmination point to celebrate the year of 2012.

05:30 Simon Cheng M 60 Civil & Structural Cad Operator

I signed up for the Standard Chartered Marathon since 2004, only missed 2005. I clocked around 5 hours for my 4 full marathon events. I would like to be a pacer, have proper training and hopefully contribute my experience to other runners.

05:30 Declan Teo M 24 Finance Executive

I have completed a couple of marathons and been inspired by several runners, now I would like to contribute back to the community and be the inspiration for other runners.

05:30 Ngo Tien Leok M 39 IT Professional It's a good way to contribute back to the running community.

•Paceyourselftocompletetherace.

The journey

At the finish point

There are two main things you need to be thinking about

when you are running. 

•Yourintensity.Startataslowerpaceandaimtobuildyour

way into the run, finishing 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.

•Yourfuel.Ensureyouareconsistentlytakinginyour

calories to replace what you are burning. Depending on

weight, experience etc you should look to be taking in

gel every 45min or so. Sip regularly on water or electrolyte

drinks 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.

•Celebrateyoursuccess. 

•Takeadvantageofthefreemassageserviceorgoforan

easy walk or jog to help loosen up your muscles.

•CollectcoldtowelsfromthePayPalRecoveryTent.

Slippers will be provided to those who complete the Full

Marathon. While stocks last.

•Eat.Ideallyyoushouldconsumeamixofcarbohydrates

and proteins within 30 minutes of completing your run.

Recommended dynamic exercisesPrior to the race, you should warm up your body by completing a light jog followed by a few dynamic exercises. Dynamic

exercises promote muscle stretch while keeping blood flow to the muscles.

It will be a run to remember, for both your child and the family.

For Kids1. After the race, the kids will be directed to the Kids Tent located in the Athlete Welfare Area (AWA).

2. The kids will collect their medals at the tent.

3. After which, the kids will be channelled to their respective pick-up area according to their age groups to meet their parents.

For Parents/Guardians1. After the kids flag-off, parents are encouraged to proceed to the AWA area where they can meet their kids.

Runners’ Estimated TimelineThis timeline will help you to estimate where a runner will be at a specific time. To co-ordinate your presence at specific spots, youneed to know the runner’s estimated completion time for the marathon.

For instance, the runner expects to finish 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 06:24am, and at the finish stretch by 10:22am.

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 is unofficial.)
