The 2026 BYD Singapore International Marathon presented by adidas is giving runners more than just the satisfaction of crossing the finish line, with a race experience that includes a premium race pack, locally designed finisher apparel, collectible medals and exclusive rewards across Singapore. The event will take place from 4 to 6 December 2026, with registration now open until 30 September 2026 or earlier if all race slots are filled.
Participants who sign up for this year’s marathon will receive a race pack valued at up to S$175, with organisers noting that its value is expected to increase as more sponsors come on board. The race pack has been curated with performance and convenience in mind, featuring items such as nasal strips, kinesiology tape, a reusable foldable cup and a tote bag, alongside other race essentials. The contents and overall value of the race pack will vary according to the race category entered.
Every finisher will also receive a commemorative medal designed to celebrate completing one of the region’s most challenging marathons. This year’s medal features a rotating centrepiece symbolising movement and perseverance, along with a tribute to the National Stadium, where participants will cross the finish line. Each medal is engraved with the event’s mantra, “Proven in Sweat. Powered by Spirit.”, and includes space for runners to personalise it with their name and official finish time.
The official 2026 BYD Marathon Finisher Tee and the Kids Dash Participant Tee have both been created by Singapore artist Jonny, a member of the local running community. The collaboration highlights the marathon’s focus on celebrating homegrown talent while giving participants wearable keepsakes inspired by the event.
A new initiative called Friends of SGIM will also debut this year, extending the marathon experience beyond race weekend. Scheduled to launch later this month, the programme will bring together a growing network of local food and beverage outlets, wellness businesses and lifestyle brands that will offer exclusive promotions and rewards to participating runners. Cafes, restaurants, wellness studios and other participating businesses across Singapore will feature marathon branding while providing runners with benefits such as discounts and marathon themed treats.
Organisers expect around 52,000 runners to take part in this year’s event, making it one of Singapore’s largest sporting gatherings. Participants who register will receive the official race pack, finisher medal and event tee, while also gaining access to the growing network of Friends of SGIM rewards leading up to race weekend.
The 2026 BYD Singapore International Marathon presented by adidas will take place from 4 to 6 December 2026. Registration remains open until 30 September 2026, subject to available capacity.
