Ugly Tees of SCM 09


The iconic and much sought-after official runners T-shirt for the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM) has a fresh new look this year as new apparel sponsor New Balance unveiled the SCSM 2009 running and finisher’s T-shirts at their flagship store at Novena Square today. The leading global athletic products company also revealed that it has specifically designed the runners T-shirt for athletes to combat the typically-humid conditions of the race.
This marks the return of New Balance, which was the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon’s first apparel sponsor back in 2002. The new sponsorship deal inked this year sees New Balance providing the official running and finisher’s T-shirts from 2009 to 2011.
To commemorate New Balance’s return as apparel sponsor for the SCSM, a special-edition finisher’s T-shirt will be awarded to every competitor who completes this year’s Full Marathon.
For the first time ever, runners in this category will be given the option of printing their finishing times on the back of their finisher’s T-shirt. They are invited to bring their finisher’s certificate to any of the four New Balance Concept Sores at the Raffles City Shopping Centre, Velocity @ Novena Square, Junction 8 Shopping Centre and Tampines 1 to get their special finisher’s T-shirt printed. This is a complimentary service extended by the race organisers and New Balance.
Patrick Wong, Country Representative of New Balance said, “Most people have a love-hate relationship with running and it is our mission to tilt the scales in favour of love. We have specially designed the official runners’ T-shirt of the SCSM 2009 to offer runners an even-better race experience. We are also proud and honoured to design and provide the special-edition finisher’s T-shirt this year to commemorate our return as apparel sponsor for Singapore’s premier running event. We hope that this special-edition finisher’s T-shirt will be a much-treasured item in the participants’ wardrobe.”
Participants of other categories have also not been left out, with New Balance extending a 30% discount off regular New Balance items at their concept stores to all runners. Runners need only bring along their confirmation slips for verification to enjoy the SCSM privilege.
Registration for the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon closed on 27 August, after just six weeks since registration opened. Members of the public who are keen to be involved in the marathon can do so by either being a supporter, signing up as a volunteer or by supporting our official charities – Lions Befrienders, Rainbow Centre Yishun School and Bukit Ho Swee Family Service Centre
