Race Overview
Congratulations to all runners that took on and completed the seventh edition of the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay in Singapore - check out the full results here.
Our runners have all gone The Extra Mile for our charity partner, SportCares. 25% of the team entry fees contributed to the total donation of S$45,572 from the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay, which will help fund a year-round project based on the winning cause – Access & Inclusion.
148 teams from Singapore’s biggest businesses took to the start line but it was Macquarie that took the title once again, completing their 10 laps of the one-mile route in a time of 53:16 to lift the coveted trophy and become the ‘fastest firm in the city’!
Competing fiercely for top spot were Standard Chartered and Credit Agricole coming in just behind Macquarie in a time of 54:18 and 1:00:00 respectively.
The winners of the new 'Fastest Female Team' award was Macquarie 2 in a time of 1:13:48. Also victorious on the night was GIC Pte Ltd who beat 67 other mixed teams to walk away the winners of the 'Fastest Mixed Team' award with a time of 1:02:10. Individually, the fastest runner Ashley Miles from Macquarie completed the 1.6km route in an incredible time of 4:52.
The baton is now handed to Shanghai on 25th October for the final race of the 2019 series!

The Extra Mile
The Extra Mile helps participants of the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay contribute to their city in a bigger, better way. This year we are delighted to be working with SportCares in Singapore.
Simply by participating in the race, 25% of your team’s race fee will be donated to invest in projects delivered by SportCares in Singapore. The best part is, you get to help choose where those funds go by choosing a cause you care about, and running for it. When you complete your personal profile on our website you will choose one of three causes to run for, from Access & Inclusion, Girls Empowerment or Service. Then, on race night, your lap in the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay won’t just be for your team, but for your Extra Mile cause too.
The cause with the quickest average time will win a minimum donation of US$20,000. Funds will be used to address the winning cause across a year-long project. Find out more about SportCares and the causes you can choose here.
