The World’s Largest Urban Adventure Series Hits Singapore

Singapore - Asia’s inaugural City Chase kicked off in Singapore on 14th July, as participants in the Pan Pacific Singapore City Chase raced across the island in a bid to be the winning team across the finishing line.

142 teams participated in the event, making it the biggest inaugural City Chase race in any country since its inception.

Participants had to travel on foot, use the bus or MRT to complete ten ChasePoints located around the island. ChasePoint activities included tying a sarong and kicking a capteh in Arab Street, making a traditional Indian garland in Little India, abseiling and negotiating a mountain biking trail in Kent Ridge.

Incorporating raising funds for the hotel’s adopted charity Assisi Hospice as a ChasePoint, a total of $4210.60 for Assisi Hospice was raised.

According to Michael Schmitt, Director of Marketing at Pan Pacific Singapore, “Being the title sponsor of the inaugural City Chase conducted in Asia has truly been an honour and an experience. As a corporate organisation engaging with the community, this is one of our most significant sports sponsorship projects and based on the exploratory nature of the race, is particularly meaningful as a hospitality industry player.”

The winning team will compete at the World Championships in Rome from September 27 – 30 where teams from Sydney, Lisbon, Paris, Madrid, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Chicago and Canada will take part in an adventure of a lifetime.
