Celebrating Dedication, Passion, and the Spirit of the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon
The Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM) has long been more than just a race — it’s a celebration of endurance, camaraderie, and the unwavering spirit of runners who return year after year.
This week, the SCSM team led by hosts Keafe and Haw Jiaxuan, together with ViewQwest, went the extra mile to show appreciation for two remarkable members of the ViewQwest 300KM Club — Steven Ng and Vincent Chua — by surprising them with a heartfelt media drop delivered right to their doorsteps.
The surprise unboxing was more than just a gesture; it was a tribute to years of dedication and passion for running Singapore’s biggest marathon.
What Is the ViewQwest 300KM Club?
The ViewQwest 300KM Club was created to honour the most loyal and passionate runners who have been part of the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon journey since 2010. Membership in this exclusive club is earned — not bought — by accumulating a total running distance of 300 kilometres across SCSM events.
Once you’ve crossed that milestone, you’re officially part of the VQ 300KM Club, a symbol of commitment to the sport and to Singapore’s vibrant running community.
And for those who have gone above and beyond, covering more than 500 kilometres, an extra badge of honour awaits — the 500KM Achiever Cap, a limited-edition token of recognition for true endurance legends.
At this year’s Race Entry Pack Collection (REPC) — happening from 4–6 December 2025 at Marina Bay Sands, Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Basement 2 Halls F — club members can look forward to exclusive rewards:
VQ 300KM Club x adidas Branded Tee
Customised VQ 300KM Club Socks
Express Lane Access for Post-Race Massage (Half & Full Marathon categories)
All of these are designed to celebrate the dedication of runners who have made the SCSM part of their lives.
Surprise Visits: Honouring Two Inspiring Runners
As part of this year’s celebration, two distinguished members of the ViewQwest 300KM Club received a surprise media drop — a small token of love from the marathon that has shaped their running journeys for years.
Steven Ng — Running the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon for 22 Consecutive Years
For Steven Ng, the marathon isn’t just an annual event; it’s a lifelong pursuit of resilience.
“After all these years, I’ve toughened myself both mentally and physically. I’m more than ready to take on any challenge,” Steven shared with a smile.
What keeps him coming back? The medals — symbols of hard-won pride and progress.
“Every finisher medal represents a new milestone. When I see them all together, I’m reminded that no challenge is too great to overcome. I hope my journey inspires more people to join the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon.”
For 22 years, Steven has embodied the true spirit of SCSM — perseverance, discipline, and joy in every stride.
Vincent Chua — The 72-Year-Old Runner Who Inspires Generations
At 72 years old, Vincent Chua proves that passion knows no age. Having joined the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon in 2012, Vincent has become a familiar face and a source of encouragement for many runners.
“Every year, I make new friends. You see the same faces, and it feels like a family reunion,” he said warmly.
Vincent’s greatest joy comes from inspiring others.
“When fellow runners come up to me and say I motivate them, it makes me happy. Knowing I’ve helped someone else keep going — that’s the best reward.”
To Vincent, every medal is more than metal — it’s a souvenir of shared moments and lasting memories.
Every Run Tells a Story — Every Pack Shows the Love
Through initiatives like the ViewQwest 300KM Club, the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon continues to celebrate the people who make the event special — the runners who lace up year after year, rain or shine, to conquer their goals and inspire others to do the same.
As we gear up for SCSM 2025, the spirit of community, resilience, and joy runs stronger than ever. Whether you’re a first-timer or a proud 300KM Club member, every stride brings you closer to something greater — the shared heartbeat of Singapore’s running community.
