If you’re a marathon runner or you’re training for your very first marathon, Singapore has marathon events that run through the year. If you’re travelling to Singapore, the country is very easily accessible, with daily flights in and out of the city. Weather, can be a challenge, since Singapore can get quite hot and dry. Remember to stay well hydrated before, during and after your event.
