Singapore is one of the most beautiful cities in the world; the streets are lined with hundreds of interesting sites and breathtaking architecture. Anyone travelling in this modern city is bound to see some unforgettably beautiful things. But for anyone looking to take in this city in a more interesting way, rather than a taxi, train or a bus, should definitely consider participating in the annual Standard Chartered Marathon, Singapore, held on the first Sunday of December.

Taking part in this internationally known marathon guarantees a more interesting view of this beautiful city, as the route passes through some spectacular sites. Although the 2013 race route is yet to be announced, the 2012 race was very successful, and this year’s race organizers are striving to live up to the previous year’s very high standards. Some of the sites you are guaranteed to pass include Sentosa, Esplanade or the beautiful Orchard Road.

The Standard Chartered Marathon has several categories, an event for every member of your family. The events include the Full Marathon, the 42km Ekiden; a relay for teams of six members, the Half Marathon, 10km Run; which also includes the wheelchair race, and the 750m Kids Dash. This marathon is guaranteed to be a fun-filled day that will make your trip to Singapore much more memorable. For those needing more incentive to run in this exciting event, cash prizes of up to 50,000$ are offered to the winners, as well as cash prizes for competitors who get placed 10th and below.

Registrations for the Standard Chartered Marathon close on the 30th of September, 2013. If you are looking for an interesting way to tour the streets of Singapore, make sure to get your entries in as soon as possible. Another way to get involved is by volunteering to help with this fun-filled event, assisting the people who make this event run smoothly and maximizing the fun.

After an exhausting but fun-filled day at the marathon, relax and unwind at a quality 5 star hotel in Singapore that affords access to many of city’s world-class entertainment and dining venues. Consider the Sheraton Towers Singapore as one possible option, as its spacious rooms, luxurious spa and swimming pool and exquisite dining makes it an ideal luxury hotel in Singapore to host your stay.
