FITNESS: SUNDOWN MARATHON

RUN TO IMPROVE YOUR CYCLING

 

Cross-training with different sports and games to achive all-round fitness, dexterity and to build different muscle groups is one fun and effective way to go further in one's cycling life. And triathletic sports – swimming and running, to complement cycling –  are top on the list for many cyclists. One of the high profile events for running is the Sundown Marathon where participants get to run along some of the most scenic spots in Singapore. The race is coming again …

(A record turnout of 30,000 runners took part in Sundown Marathon 2013, which took place on 31 May and 1 June at the F1 Pit Building. )

 

Having established itself as the premier night marathon in Singapore, Sundown Marathon now has its sights set on delivering its unique night running experience to runners across the region.
