Pinnacle Time Trial – Singapore’s Tallest HDB: Event and Results

On May 17, 2025, 39 dedicated towerrunners gathered at Pinnacle@Duxton, Singapore’s tallest HDB, to kick off the TASG Time Trial Series 2025 – Pinnacle Edition.

With a few last-minute sign-ups, our group featured both regular TASG members and a strong group of first-timers. A huge congratulations to our newcomers—you tackled the 50-story climb with incredible determination and joined the towerrunning ranks!

The event started at 10:15am with a brief introduction by me, TASG Charles, to outline the day’s challenge. Serene, our TASG Secretary, led a dynamic group warmup to prepare everyone for the climb.

Runners then split into three groups and hit the stairs, powering through 47 floors of intense effort. Timing was handled manually with precision by our skilled TASG volunteers, capturing every runner’s performance accurately. The atmosphere was electric, buzzing with the thrill of a real race as runners lined up, nervous but ready to tackle the stairs.

At the top, everyone was all smiles despite the grueling climb. After conquering the climb, everyone regrouped at the bottom area at to hear the results. The times were outstanding, with many members posting faster runs compared to last year, showing serious improvement.

The competition was fierce, and here are the top three men and women who led the pack, along with their impressive times:
