Singapore Running Events
Singapore's major running races each suit a different runner and a different training block. This hub profiles fourteen, from the BYD Singapore Marathon to Sundown, the Army Half and Stride For Good: what each race is, the distances it offers, and how many weeks you need to train, plus free calculators for your pace and zones.
A guide to Singapore's major races, built for runners deciding what to enter and how to prepare. Each race has its own page: what it is, the distances it offers, and, the part most calendars skip, how many weeks you need to train for it. For the full dated calendar, see the 2026 running events calendar and the 2027 first look.
