The 2016 edition took place on 22nd<\/sup> May. While the race may have been quite short compared to a typical road running race, taking only 15 to 20 minutes for many of the participants, it was also more challenging as compared to simply running along paths on flat ground.\r\n\r\nBut the view was rewarding and really worth the climb though. Many of the participants had spent a long time admiring the beautiful skyscrapers of urban Singapore, with many friends spending up to an hour at the top not only waiting for each other, but also to take lots of selfies and wefies against the backdrop.\r\n\r\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
