Information for Volunteers

Volunteers are the backbone to the mounting success of the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon since its first inception in 2002. Without the dedication and continuous support from the community, the race would not have been the runaway success it was, and an instant hit with all the local and international runners and supporters alike.

If you are not taking part in the race this year and would like to support the running community (who may also include your family and friends), and catch all the thrills and spills first-hand, here's your chance to do so!

We need some 3,000 volunteers for an array of positions for Race Day (Sunday, 2 December 2007), as well as support staff for pre-event day, also known as, Race Entry Pack Collection (REPC).
