Exclusive Benefits for Elite and National Championship Athletes
Elite and National Championship athletes have added benefits from regular participants and are eligible for prize money.
As a National Championship athlete, you are entitled to the following:
Same Start Pen with Elites
National Championship athletes will begin the race in the same pen as the Marathon Elite athletes. This means they have the unique opportunity to compete alongside some of the best marathon runners. Moreover, if a National Championship athlete finishes in the top 8 overall in the Marathon race, they will be eligible to receive the Elite prize money.
Dedicated Wave Start
Both Elite and National Championship athletes will be flagged off in a dedicated wave, starting separately from the other participants. Elite and National Championship athletes will exclusively have a clear and unobstructed course at the start of the race.
Access to Elite Stations
Athletes who meet the National Championship Elite Station Qualifying Time of 2 hours 45 minutes for men or 3 hours 15 minutes for women will gain access to Elite Stations during the Marathon. These stations provide enhanced support that are reserved for top-tier athletes on top of the existing Aid Stations along the Marathon course.
Dedicated Race Bib
Each National Championship participant will receive a race bib specifically designed for the National Championship, distinguishing them from general marathon participants.
Access to Elite Areas at the Start Venue
National Championship athletes will have access to exclusive Elite areas and the Elite call room at the start venue. These areas offer a more comfortable and focused environment to prepare for the race.
Access to Elite Lounge at the Finish Venue
After completing the race, athletes can relax and recover in the Elite lounge at the finish venue. This lounge provides food, beverages, and a space to unwind post-race.
Baggage Transfer Service
We offer a convenient baggage transfer service from the start venue to the finish venue for all National Championship athletes, allowing them to easily retrieve their belongings after the race.
National Championship Prize Money
Athletes competing in the National Championship are eligible for prize money if they finish in the top 10 positions, adding an extra incentive to perform at their best.
Access to Pre-Race Technical Briefing
All National Championship participants are invited to attend a pre-race technical briefing on 29 or 30 November. This session will provide important information and insights to help athletes prepare optimally for the race day.
Registration Fee Discount
Eligible carded athletes and recipients of the Singapore Athletics OCTC Grant will receive a 50% discount on the National Championship registration fee, making this World Athletics Gold Label race more accessible to our national athletes in recognition of their efforts towards preparing, qualifying and representing Singapore at Major Competitions.
