The Sundown Marathon, previously known as Adidas Sundown Marathon, is an annual Sports Tourism event that started in 2008. The race takes place in Singapore. The marathon is organized by the same team that made the Aviva Ironman 70.3 Singapore Triathlon possible. The event is unique in that it is Asia's only mass night running event. It attracts a diverse group of athletes and managed to attract 10,670 entrants in 2009. There are different races and they are namely the ultramarathon (84.39 km), the marathon (42.195 km), the Women (10 km) and the Team/Corporate Challenge (10 km x 4 runners). The races all fall on the same night with different start times. In 2011, 84 km ultramarathon was replaced with 100 km ultramarathon. Runners are required to pay a fee to participate in the race. The price varies according to registration date, race selected, and the runners' history of participation in the event.〔(YourSingapore.com - Sundown Marathon 2011 )〕 == Level of participation == As of 3 March 2009, more than 10,000 men and women had signed up for “Singapore’s Toughest Race”. This total breaks the event’s previous entry record of 6,088 participants. Despite the fact that it is a relatively new race present in Singapore, the overwhelming response shows its potential to become a well-respected event. The 2009 event’s route traveled through some of east’s most beautiful urban parks as well as major local landmarks such as Bedok Reservoir, East Coast Park and the Changi Ferry Terminal; all set to the backdrop of Singapore’s night sky. A new addition to the event is also the introduction of the Women’s 10 km which has garnered remarkable response from the public which totaled around 2,200 runners. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sundown Marathon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
