Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM) Kids Virtual Race

October is a month of celebration for children all around Singapore. While this year’s celebration will be toned down due to the tightened measures around Covid-19, parents can still find a way to keep their children happy and healthy as the event organiser of the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (SCSM) will be holding a Kids Virtual Race (VR) on their Virtual Club platform.
