Foreword
Dear runners
Acting Minister, Ministry of Culture,
Community and Youth
On 2 December, you will be running the Standard Chartered Marathon
Singapore, one of the top road races in Asia. It is a run that will test your
endurance and grit. To family and friends, you will no doubt be an inspiration.
Over the years, this marathon has captured the hearts of runners across
Singapore. We call it the People’s Race, because it continues to attract scores
of people and brings the community together. It started with just about 6,000
participants back in 2002. This year, more than 50,000 will be taking part in
the run. It is heartening to see this healthy sporting culture growing among us.
The International Association of Athletics Federations has accorded the
Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore a Gold Label certification in 2011.
This puts Singapore in the ranks of cities such as Beijing, Berlin, Boston,
Tokyo and London. It is a reflection of the quality of the race, both in terms of
its organisation and participation. The event attracts runners from around the
world. You can look forward to running alongside some of the best.
The race could not happen without the involvement of the many volunteers,
who have been working hard to ensure that you will have an optimal running
experience. I would like to offer my heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers for
your commitment and contributions. I would also like to thank our sponsors
and partners who have contributed to the success of this event.
Sports play an important role in our society, whether you are a runner, a
spectator cheering your favourite athlete or team, or a volunteer. It has the
ability to inspire the human spirit and to bring people closer together. The
Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore is an event that exemplifies this
special quality of sports.
Have a great run!

Foreword
Welcome to the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012.
Chief Executive Officer, Singapore
Standard Chartered Bank Since 2002, Standard Chartered Bank is proud to have played a part in
nurturing Singapore’s passion for running. Whether you are an experienced
marathoner aiming for your personal best, or running with family and friends
for fun and to stay fit, there is every reason to run in the Standard Chartered
Marathon Singapore.
The courage, determination and passion of the runners resonate strongly
with what we stand for as an organisation. It is very much part of our brand
promise to be Here for good in the communities where we operate. Just
as the runners are determined to finish the race well, we are committed in
our partnership with the Singapore Sports Council to deliver a quality race
and to bring together runners, supporters, volunteers, corporates and the
community.
Each year, we are encouraged by runners who leverage on the marathon
to raise awareness and funds for various charities. This year, I am extremely
pleased that a group of Standard Chartered Bank staff have come together,
not only to raise funds to develop a sports club for the visually impaired,
but to also run as sighted guides to several visually impaired runners at the
marathon. They have been training together and getting to know each other
better for the past three months, and I am proud of their commitment and
achievements.
Event day marks the culmination of months of training for many, and a full
year of preparation by the organisers, volunteers and many others who have
contributed to ensure a safe and enjoyable running experience. I would like
to thank everyone who has worked tirelessly to make the Standard Chartered
Marathon Singapore a great success.
See you at the start line on 2 December.

The Singapore Sports Council (SSC) is delighted to welcome you to the
Chief Executive Officer Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS) 2012.
Singapore Sports Council
We are proud that our marathon was awarded the International Association
of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Gold Label status following the 2011 race. It
is a fitting accolade for a race that has grown to become Singapore’s annual
marquee running event.
At SSC, we know that marathon running is no easy feat. It requires tenacity,
resilience, commitment and enduring preparation. Similarly, the work on the
2012 SCMS began from the day after the last one in 2011. As we made
our plans, we took on board your feedback to ensure a more enjoyable
race experience. As the largest running event during the festive season in
Singapore, we will build on the spirit of the season to add to your cheer.
In addition to adopting a festive theme, we will also be introducing some new
enhancements: Cheer Mobiles to ferry your friends and family to different spots
on the route to cheer you on; the BMW Cheer Video screens programmed to
broadcast personal video clips from your supporters urging you to stay the
course as you approach the waypoint; and finally encouragement messages
on the distance markers from fellow participants. On the full marathon route,
look for this message at the 21km-mark from Joel Ee, “I didn’t do this to quit
halfway. Let’s do this!” Thank you Joel!
With more than 4,500 volunteers as well as 22 sponsors and partners, the
SCMS exemplifies how our partnerships in sport can create more opportunities
for people to live better. A special mention must go to our long-standing title
sponsor, Standard Chartered Bank. With your support, the SCMS has grown
into a Sporting Singapore icon and one of the top marathons in Asia.
I would also like to express my gratitude to my organising committee, our
fellow government agencies and the thousands of volunteers for their hard
work and dedication. Your commitment to community service enables us to
scale new heights at SCMS each year.
To all our runners, I applaud your determination and competitive spirit. See
you at the start on 2 December. As Vision 2030 encourages us: Live Better
Through Sports!

Run For Good
Running for Smiles
Born with a cleft lip, Mike Cheong, 29, has experienced first-hand the series of surgeries, speech therapy
and support a child needs to physically and emotionally live with this deformity.
“I was fortunate to have the financial and emotional support to receive medical treatment at birth. I cannot
imagine how a child, with no choice of his or her being born with this deformity, will be able to talk, eat
and live properly without proper treatment.”
Other than the initial surgery at birth to close the palette, Mike also went through a second operation to
repair a cavity in his upper mouth when he was 10 years old, wore braces for five years (much longer than
the average person) and had to undergo speech therapy to correct a lisp.
Mike Cheong
Since 2007, he has enjoyed participating in long distance races and has decided to run for Operation
Smile at the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012.
“I’m running to raise awareness for others who may not be as fortunate as I am, others who did not have a choice and are born
with a cleft. Operation Smile was founded on the belief that no children should suffer or die because of a facial deformity. And with
your help, they can lead better lives.”
Running for Cancer
“Cancer has slowed me down, but has not stopped me.”
Having completed six months of chemotherapy just weeks before last year’s Standard Chartered
Marathon Singapore, Carolyn Soemarjono, 44, was determined to complete it by brisk walking.
Not only did she finish all 21.1km, Carolyn raised $6,000 for the Singapore Cancer Society. And she’s
willing to do it all over again.
“This year I want to RUN the entire 21km. I’m able to do 12km in my training now, and plan on running the
whole distance in December.”
“Raising money for the cancer society felt like the right thing to do. I felt so lucky and fortunate that I
had the means to take time off from work. I had the means to ensure that my medical bills were paid. I
had a lot of support around me, financially and emotionally. The Singapore Cancer Society helps those
people that do not have that level of financial or emotional support. So I really believe it is the number
one charity that I could help to support.” Carolyn Soemarjono
Running for SportCares
Age, as they say, is just a number. For 101 year old Fauja Singh, it is just another remarkable statistic for
the world’s oldest marathoner who proves that one can never be too old to pick up the sport.
Born on 1 April 1911, Fauja completed his first full marathon at the 2000 London marathon aged 89 and
went on to set the marathon world record for above 90s at the 2003 Toronto Waterfront Marathon with a
timing of 5hr 40 mins.
He became the first 100 year old to finish a marathon in Toronto last year and to date, has completed
nine full marathons including the latest London Marathon in April this year. As a 100 year old, he also set
eight world records for his age group in one day for distances ranging from 100m to 5,000m.
Fauja will be running the 10km at the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore 2012 and he will be doing
so to raise awareness for the SportCares Foundation which leverages on the power and positive impact of
sport to improve the welfare of Singaporeans who are underprivileged, disadvantaged or disabled.
Fauja Singh Fauja’s running coach Harmander Singh remarked, “We aim to do something for the local community
wherever we go. Fauja chose to raise awareness and funds for the SportCares Foundation as he
believes in this movement which utilises sport to improve the lives of the less fortunate.”

Pacers - Your Inspiration
This year, the BMW Run Efficient Pacers Programme is
designed to provide Full Marathon runners with the means
of keeping track of their progress throughout the race. Using
the Official Pacers as their guide and coach, runners will be
able to relax and enjoy the race, knowing that experienced
marathoners are looking out for them and moving them
through the course at a steady pace.
There will be close to 40 BMW Run Efficient Pacers for the
Full Marathon this year. They will be easily recognised by their
white singlets and different coloured balloons indicating their
pace times (3:45, 4:00, 4:15, 4:30, 4:45, 5:00, 5:15, 5:30).

It’s simple! All pacers will be carrying balloons of the colour representing their pace group so all you have to do is to spot the balloons
when you are at the start line and join our pacers to follow their pace. These are the colours with the times that go with them:

runners. When they feel like giving up, I hope to be the one to encourage them to push through
the pain and reap the rewards. I understand that there will be a high level of commitment needed
as a pacer. Since I am already spending time training on my own, why not commit myself as a
pacer and deepen the meaning behind my training?
05:00 Khoo Zhihao M 29 Running Coach My objective for being a pacer is to inspire everyone to keep running and maintain a healthy
Sky lifestyle. Furthermore, as a pacer, I will be encouraging fellow runners in their quest to achieve their
desired personal race target as I always believe encouraging someone will eventually save their life.
05:00 Irene Yap F 45 Administrative To motivate and push other runners to achieve their goals for the race.
Assistant
05:15 Quek Ai Ling F 43 Retired Through the years, I developed an instinctive feel of the pace I run and I need to be consistent, to
be a pacer for a long run.
05:15 Jack Kong Zi M 26 Teacher Being an educator, I believe in what motivation can do for us. Being a pacer for something I really
Long love doing would realise not only my personal aims to become one, but also my needs to be
altruistic to others around me who share my passion but just need a little encouragement to move
along.
05:15 Andy Ng M 31 Civil Servant Running is in my blood. It’s something that I love to do and will always do whenever there’s a
chance. After numerous operations on my head and leg, I am still running. I am a living testimony
that “where you put your heart, you will find a way”. So keep running and feel the difference it
makes. See you all at SCMS!
05:15 Charles Chng M 39 IT Manager I had a great experience as a pacer previously. In addition, pacing is also a great way to contribute
to the running scene in Singapore.
05:15 Lance Sum M 29 Aspiring I started running as a slow runner but through the inspiration from friends and runners around me,
Marketer I improved and loved the sport. I am inspired and love to pass the inspiration onwards to other
runners.
05:30 Tan Heng M 39 Executive Sharing the joy of running, motivate when the journey feels daunting, and always be there at the
Hock, Jason Manager, toughest stretch of a race.

05:30 Chew Sook F 24 Engineer I wish to motivate and help runners to complete the race within the pace time I'll be doing. Make
Fun new friends along the way. Sometimes it's a road too lonely to go on on their own, might as well
follow us and have a rocking good time.
05:30 Andrew Lee M 39 Civil Servant Since I’ve been a race participant all this while in races and also completed an ironman race in
2011, I would like to try something different for 2012. I want to be on “the other side” of races and
if possible, give my share back to the sporting community. Other than being a race volunteer, the
idea of being a pacer was just perfect. Ever since I started marathon races, I have always wanted
to be pacer one day. I get to run, and I get to “provide a service” at the same time. Just a perfect
culmination point to celebrate the year of 2012.
05:30 Simon Cheng M 60 Civil & I signed up for the Standard Chartered Marathon since 2004, only missed 2005. I clocked
Structural Cad around 5 hours for my 4 full marathon events. I would like to be a pacer, have proper training and
Operator hopefully contribute my experience to other runners.
05:30 Declan Teo M 24 Finance I have completed a couple of marathons and been inspired by several runners, now I would like to
Executive contribute back to the community and be the inspiration for other runners.
05:30 Ngo Tien Leok M 39 IT Professional It's a good way to contribute back to the running community.
