With International Women’s Day (IWD) just round the corner, the organisers of the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM) are marking the occasion with a series of virtual races, challenges and sharing sessions focusing on celebrating women, over a three-week period from 8th – 31st March. 

The first SCSM virtual club (VC) campaign for this year, it aims to rally the spotlight on female runners in Singapore.

An engaging and rewarding platform to rally athletes

Launched last year to rally the running community with weekly races and challenges due to the Covid-19 induced cancellation of large-scale running events, the SCSM VC is an engaging and rewarding platform with an online store, with redeemable rewards, training and nutritional resources to foster strong bonds within the running community both in Singapore and around the world.

Campaign will run three weeks

The upcoming IWD campaign will feature a three-week collective distance challenge where runners can clock as many runs or walks as possible to contribute towards the cumulative community distance. 

And as well, a series of heart-pounding sessions will be taking place with three fitness influencers in Singapore – Sofie Chandra, Cheryl Tay and Choo Ling Er.

Sofie, who is the captain of Adidas Runners Singapore, is holding a running and strength based conditioning session where participants will be led on an outdoor run with strength exercises in between.

Cheryl, a fitness trainer and triathlete, is organising an outdoor bootcamp and will lead participants through a series of cardio, strength and core exercises.

Ling Er, a six-time Ironman world championship finisher and fitness instructor, will be leading participants through an indoor spin workout.

Goodie bags and Jaybird Run XT to be won

All participants at the three sessions will receive goodie bags. As well, everyone also stands to win a Jaybird Run XT worth $299 by nominating an amazing woman who has inspired their own fitness journey.
