Trial MRT Service for Half Marathon Participants

SMRT and SBS Transit will be trialling a special train service for half marathon participants on event day to gauge demand and possibly cater to all runners for future marathons.

Taking into account that the start point at Sentosa Gateway is relatively less accessible, SMRT and SBS Transit have graciously arranged for train services to begin earlier on event day to transport half marathon participants from their respective MRT stations to HarbourFront Station.

Pre-existing train fares will apply, even though the extra train services are running outside of normal operating hours.

There will be two extra departure timings which will start from the various start points of the respective four MRT lines. Participants are advised to wait at their individual stations 5-10 minutes before the scheduled departure time to avoid missing the train service.

Participants, especially those who are not bringing any bags, are encouraged to use the train services to reach the start point in time for the flag-off at 6.30am.
