For this edition—which is the only World Athletics Gold Label race in South-east Asia—the race will start at the F1 Pit Building.

It will end at the Padang, which is surrounded by landmarks like the former City Hall and Supreme Court, which now house the National Gallery Singapore.

Like in previous races, the routes will also take in attractions such as the Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay.

The finishing line was located at the Anderson Bridge near the Padang in 2024, the National Stadium in 2023 and the Float @ Marina Bay in 2022. The 2021 and 2020 SCSM were held in a hybrid format and virtually respectively, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
