  • Issues at events over the past year have led to organisers apologising to participants both publicly and privately.

The article from Channel News Asia discusses the frustrations and challenges faced by participants in the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon, which took place on December 3, 2023. Runners experienced significant delays due to a bottleneck at the start, caused by a narrow bridge that funneled all participants into a single file, leading to waits of up to 45 minutes. This issue was exacerbated by the large number of participants, with over 50,000 runners taking part. The marathon's organization was criticized for poor planning, especially considering the event's history and the known constraints of the route.
