Adidas races ahead with Singapore Marathon

Sportswear giant Adidas has agreed a deal to become an official partner of the 2014 Singapore Marathon.

Adidas will serve as the official apparel partner for the race, which is scheduled to take place on December 7.

In the build-up to the Singapore Marathon, Adidas will organise a pacer and training programme for the public. Singaporean runner Melvin Wong, who is also an Adidas ambassador, will lead the public runners and help them to complete the race.

To mark the partnership, Adidas has also developed a limited edition running shoe.

Earlier this year, international banking group Standard Chartered signed a three-year extension to its title sponsorship of the Singapore Marathon.
