Saturday Mornings: Soh Rui Yong’s Marathon Double: Triumph, Trials & What’s Next

View descriptionShare

This week Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we celebrate the amazing, record-breaking, Singaporean distance running star, Soh Rui Yong, who made history at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2025 by clinching both the national half-marathon and marathon titles in back-to-back races. On December 6, Soh took the half-marathon crown in 1:14:58, and just a day later, he returned to the Padang to win the marathon in 2:46:23—his sixth consecutive national marathon title. The feat was far from easy. Soh recalls the toll of running over 63km in 24 hours, battling disrupted sleep and depleted energy levels. “I’m never doing that again,” he admitted after edging out compatriot Aaron Tan by just four seconds. Yet despite the exhaustion, Soh remains optimistic as he looks ahead to the SEA Games in Thailand, even as he faces uncertainty following an “abnormal” ECG result. We explore what this double victory means for his career, his resilience in the face of challenges, and his ambitions for the 10,000m gold medal and beyond.
