The Pinnacle @ Duxton Vertical Challenge 2014

 17 Apr 2014   Posted by Cheryl Tay


I have never done a vertical marathon before and this is gonna be my first one! I’ll be honest, I’m not fond of climbing stairs, but well, there’s always a first time for everything. I can already imagine how much my quads will ache the next day!

The Pinnacle @ Duxton Vertical Challenge 2014, Presented by Brooks @ World of Sports, is one of the few vertical marathons organised in Singapore. Vertical running offers an alternative sporting event to road marathons, as well as being a fitting sport that takes advantage of Singapore’s many skyscrapers. The race is divided into three categories; Men’s Open, Women’s Open and the Team Challenge.

Event: The Pinnacle@ Duxton Vertical Challenge 2014
Race Date: 11th May 2014, Sunday
Start Time: 7:30 am
Venue: Pinnacle @ Duxton Blk 1A Staircase
Distance: Vertical Climb (47 storeys, 792 steps)
*Race starts from 3rd floor to 50th floor and participants will be granted 5 minutes of photo-taking time at the 50th floor.
