Singapore, Wednesday, November 13, 2013 – The race routes for the marathon, half marathon and 10km for the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore have just been released by the organisers.

Category: Half Marathon – Sentosa Gateway
Start time: 6.30am
Category: 10km – Esplanade Drive

Race Entry Pack Collection
All participants can collect their race packs as early as Thursday, November 28. This is to avoid any further delays on the day of the race.
The details of the collection are as follows:
Collection Point: Singapore Expo Hall 7
Date: November 28–30 (Thursday to Saturday)
Time: 10.00am to 9.00pm daily
Organisers say that it is mandatory for participants to run in the singlet provided to allow easy identification of marathon runners along the race routes.
Baggage Handling
Runners who want to use the bag-drop service are highly encouraged to bring their clear plastic bag provided in their race packs with them. Officers manning the baggage deposit points will only accept contents from the participants if it is packed and handed in these clear bags. This is to do away with the need to inspect bags to shorten waiting time and reduce congestion.
Organisers have also revised several baggage deposit and collection locations to accommodate the large number of participants who use the baggage deposit.
