Run for a Reason

The Standard Chartered marathons – nine races spanning four continents that give thousands of ordinary people reason to feel extraordinary. These marathons characterise the values and attitude that Standard Chartered believes in, and lives by everyday – a “can-do” attitude, a priority on strength of trust, willpower, stamina, and a determination to go the distance.

Testing individual courage while bringing together and inspiring entire communities to lead healthier lifestyles, there’s really nothing quite like a Standard Chartered marathon. Between October and June, races take place in Jersey, Nairobi, Bangkok, Singapore, Dubai, Mumbai, Hong Kong, the Falkland Islands and Kuala Lumpur. Their growing popularity may be explained by the fact that they appeal to all types of runners – some people run in costume, some for charity, others to push their physical and mental limits. Whatever the reason, these runners and the thousands who come to support them experience what makes Standard Chartered marathons unique. A sense of trust between competitors and creativity amongst supporters. A determination to go the extra mile, no matter what. The marathons embody everything that Standard Chartered Bank believes in. They are truly the run for everyone.
