Click here for my race review of Newton Challenge 2017.

Organised by Pink Apple Pte Ltd, the 2017 edition of the Newton Challenge is back on 29 October 2017 and will flag off at the Marina Barrage with a brand new 10km category.

Newton Challenge is back in 2017.

Categories

As the anchor lead up event to the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM) taking place in December, the Newton Challenge will also consist of the pre-existing 21.1km and the 32km categories, in order to prepare runners taking part in the Half Marathon and the Full Marathon respectively, at SCSM.

The 32km category of the Newton Challenge will also flag off at 4.30am in the morning. This will give marathon runners practise in waking up early in order to run at such a time so that they will be better equipped for SCSM.

There will be a 10km category, in addition to the Half Marathon and 32km categories.

For runners taking part in the 32km category, the cut-off time will be 6 hours and 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, the 21.1km race will flag off at 5.30am and the 10km category flags off at 7.30am. The 21.1km runners have 4 hours to complete their race and for the 10km runners, they have a generous 2hours and 30minutes to do so.

Runners taking part in Newton Challenge will receive a Newton Finisher Polo Tee Shirt, as well as a Newton Running Singlet, Socks, a Finisher Medal and a Lucky Draw entry for the race.
