As the global appeal of overseas marathons increase, SportPlus.sg highlights the importance of building a marathon culture locally and the risks for our running community if we do not look beyond ourselves. Despite increased exposure to overseas marathons for Singapore runners, the marathon culture in Singapore falls somewhat short of the race experience that many overseas marathons have to offer.  This poses a real threat to participation in local races if the trajectory continues, with current trends suggesting most singapore runners prefering to head overseas for their marathon experiences, making runcations a greater priority each year over taking part in local Singapore running events. While overseas races can be awesome, here we discuss why building a marathon culture within Singapore is equally vital for the running scene's longevity - from improved social cohesion and inclusivity, to growth of the running community overall, economic development and also encouraging sporting excellence and a national identity.
