The 10th year anniversary of the OSIM Sundown Marathon concluded in style with around 27,000 runners running through the night to beat the sunrise this year.

The iconic homegrown night race saw the inclusion of the largest sports carnival in the country – the first Sundown Night Festival, which boasted an art-box night festival concept comprising an exciting slate of programmes lined-up over five consecutive nights from 21 March leading up to race day on 26 March.

For the first time, the Sundown 5km Earth Hour Run took place as part of the Earth Hour celebrations. People from all over Singapore came together to run a cumulative distance of over 550,000km across all categories at this year’s Sundown Marathon – enough to circle the earth at least 10 times – in support of wildlife, forests and oceans.

The run also piloted alternative sustainable solutions for marathon events such as reusable bottles and edible water molecules as extra options at the hydration station, and plantable medals in addition to the traditional finisher medals.

Adrian Mok, Managing Director of HiVelocity Events, the organiser of Sundown Marathon said:

Our 10th year was a landmark event for us, and we wanted to open up new experiences for our participants this year. Although our focus has always been providing the best experience possible for our runners, we’ve always wanted to cater to more than just the runners. These include their supporters and the mass public. We didn’t want it to be the case of just picking up their race packs. It was also about engaging them during the race pack collection, all the way up to event day, which was the aim of the Sundown Night Festival. We want to ensure that there’s always something for everyone at the race village, regardless of whether you’re a participant or not. That’s the beauty of the Sundown Marathon.
