Marathon was fun until Stanchart took over. No registration fee, no branded shirt, just a simple round neck T for those who completed. No need to track runners. It was just simple craziness of some simple folks wanting to maim their legs by destroying the knees.
Some people consider running a full marathon as one of their must-do things in life... of equal importance to say, buying a car, getting married, visiting a certain country, climbing Everest. The 'bucket list' of things to do in life.
There are even others who are so siao on about marathons, they travel all over the world to run in various marathons e.g. Boston.
Can't blame anyone for taking short cuts. In Spore you have to work & play smart if you want to stay in the rat race
Rubbish. Running a (fake) marathon is a rat race? It can fill your tummy? Pay the bills? Send your kids to school?
Dumb Sinkies will be dumb Sinkies.
The blogger is just dumb. These people simply paid for the finisher T's and medal that's all.... there is no intention to cheat because you can't.
The whole idea is to encourage healthy lifestyle and if the problem is serious enough, the organiser can always publish a list of non-finisher to shame them. Otherwise live and let live.

Women's only marathons are more fun.

I wonder how that muslim woman did running all covered up?
With the hot weather in Spore you are asking for a heat stroke.

Nothing wrong with taking a little advantage when no one is looking. I do that all the time.
All these cheatings tells a lot of one's character. This generation is
a shameful lot unlike their parents'.
It shows that they will cheat in worklife esp when dealing with $$$.
I finished in 7-8hr in 1982, run.walk jog....given completion medal; no T shirt.
1982 was the first marathon in Sg. Started from stadium. Serangoon to Lor Chuan and Lornie rd were the killers. Saw one of the runners enjoyed himself by sleeping in the middle of orchard rd. the route was totally closed to traffic then. Took 5h 15min. Took about half an hour to finish the last km because the legs will cramp after a few steps. That was my first run. I went totally unprepared thinking I was very fit as I had left army not long ago.All these cheatings tells a lot of one's character. This generation is
