THE COURSE

Billed as one of the most beautiful in the world, the new course is shaded by trees and fringes the East Coast Parkway for much of the way. Starting at the Esplanade Bridge, the flat, shaded and scenic course will take the runners through some of the most historical sites of Singapore, along the picturesque East Coast Park coastal route, through the Business District of Shenton Way and finish at the Padang.
