In 1948, Singapore’s Bukit Batok Hill Altura was the site of the first hill climbing contest in Singapore. The contest was a celebration of the country’s newly-gained independence and was a show of sportsmanship and strength of the nation.

At the time, the Bukit Batok Hill Altura was the largest hill in Singapore and was a challenging climb for even the most experienced athletes. The hill was a steep, winding road with a total elevation of approximately 150 metres. The contest was a test of endurance and determination, and the athletes had to work their way up the hill in the shortest time possible.

In 2020, the Bukit Batok Hill Altura is set to host a historical reimagining of the 1948 hill climbing contest. This time, the event is open to athletes of all ages, gender, and fitness levels. The course will have a route of approximately 2.5km and will start and finish at the Bukit Batok Hill Altura.
