An Early Start To The Day With Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012

Hi Huneybees,

The annual Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS), Singapore’s most anticipated running event, started at 5am this morning with more than 50,000 runners participated.

This year's race features a contingent of elite athletes including winners and record holders from previous editions. Defending champions, Charles Mwai Kanyao, and Irene Jerotich Kosgei, both from Kenya, will be amongst the world-class international elite runners at the start line of this International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Gold Label race.
 
Here are the winners of the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012 Full Marathon: 

Men's Open - K. Lilan Kennedy (time: 02:17:21)
Women's Open - K. Irene Jerotich (time: 02:37:54)
Men's Singapore - Ashley Liew (time: 02:45:07)
Women's Singapore - Qi Hui (time: 03:17:07)
Men's Masters - C. Kimingi Thaiya (time: 02:34:54)
Women's Masters - M. Wangui Njuguna (time: 02:53:30). 

Although there were some hiccups like not enough water points, no toilets at several Ekiden points, wrong-sized finisher singlets, etc., overall it was still a very well organized and the support from the volunteers were just awesome! 

See you at SCMS 2013!!
