An integral part of TCS' involvement with the SCMS 2014 will be the development of a Race app, delivered in collaboration with the event organizer, Spectrum Worldwide, which will be made available to all participants in the build-up to race day on Sunday, December 7, 2014. The app will be available on all iOS and Android Smartphones in Singapore from mid-September onwards and will host a range of training and race day features; providing all the necessary information and technological assistance a runner will need for this year's edition of SCMS.
With a number of international running events already in its impressive portfolio, TCS’ new partnership with the SCMS signals its first foray into Southeast Asia.
