Sharing with her experience, Rachel spoke highly of this year’s race saying,

I’ve been running (the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon) since 2007, except for the two years when I was pregnant. I participate every year mostly because of the atmosphere, and of course, all my friends run in it. It’s like the biggest race of the year and everyone has to be here. The conditions today are quite good, I can say the water points are very (well) spread out. This year’s event is very well-organised.

Other elite local marathoner Ashley Liew finishes at 2:50:29, while Jasmine Goh and Mok Ying Rong finishes at 3:20:04 and 3:16:59 respectively.

Leading the headlines were surprise wins from Kenyans Cosmos Koech Kimutai and Pamela Rotich Kipsogei in the men’s and women’s elite categories respectively.

The wins marked continued dominance for the Kenyans in Singapore where they’ve swept the men’s title every year since 2002 and won the women’s category for the eighth consecutive year.

Into its 16th year, South East Asia’s only IAAF gold-labelled race flagged off at 4:30 a.m., as over 48,000 participants took to the streets to race across five different categories.

For the first time, over 90% of the route had full road closures as participants experienced the sights and sounds of a wider, iconic city route which delivered an exceptional race experience for participants.

The Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2018 will be on 8 and 9 December 2018.
