The Pinnacle 2008 was held on 28th June 2008, with it being the second adventure race organized by X-Ventures of Ngee Ann Polytechnic. The first wave of racers were flagged off at 820am, by Mr Alan Thng, Deputy Director of Student Development & Alumni Relations, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, at Zhenghua Community Centre. The race was set to complete in Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

The much-anticipated exciting race received a high participation rate from both Ngee Ann students, alumnus and students from other institutions of higher learning as well, with a total of 66 teams turning up on race day. The NP categories accounted for 32 teams, 14 teams from male category, 4 teams from female category and 14 from the mixed team category.
Prior to the race day, all racers were required to attend a race clinic for an assessment of their abilities and proficiency in abseiling and navigation so as to equip the racers with the necessary race knowledge such as ropes skills and race preparations.
Racing in pairs, teams went through a mixture of urban and natural terrains clocking in approximately 12km of distance. Race disciplines include running, cycling, trail biking (team biathlon), navigation, abseiling, tyrolean traverse, water activities and team challenges. The race has garnered many positive feedbacks from the racers and many has shared that they enjoyed the race greatly though it was tiring and challenging.

The race could not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors, The Singapore Sports Council, Yeo’s, Ace Adventure, Kit Runners, Lion Corporation, Singapore Press Holdings, Basecamp, J-Lite, Shines Outdoor, PUB, NP Co-Op and Pines Café of whom sponsored many prizes for the winners of all seven categories, as well as freebies for the goodie bags.
The top team from the NP category, Team TAS- P.Os has also won themselves each a Urata mountain bicycle sponsored by Kit Runners, a pair of Smith Optics shades sponsored by J-Lite and a complimentary entry voucher to one of Singapore’s premium adventure race, Ace Adventure Challenge 5 by Ace Adventure.
The Pinnacle 2008 ended with a huge success. X-Ventures hope to continue to introduce and support this sport to more youths.
