Have you ever seen marathon held at night or participated in one?
Here's the very first marathon held at night after sundown in Singapore. This event is sponsored by Adidas.







In the wee hours of the morning, the inaugural adidas Sundown Marathon saw over 6,000 runners participate in Singapore’s first ever night long-distance run event. The categories in this year’s event included the 84km Ultra Marathon, the 42km Marathon, Team Challenge and Corporate Challenge. The latter two categories had teams of four participants running 10.5km each.













"There's a kind of magic that takes place when you run at night.

You See: Lights in the Dark. You Hear: Your footsteps, your heartbeat. You Smell: The scent of the fresh night breeze. You Touch: The coolness of the air. You Taste: The nearing victory of completing your run. "

Athletes are usually seen training at night but not running at night. And the race are often held in the day.The first adidas Sundown Marathon was held on the 31st of May till 1st June of 2008. It was a success. For the second adidas Sundown Marathon will be held on he 30th of May 2009 which will be 6 months from now.
