Singapore Investment Immigration focuses on life in Singapore: Singapore held a unique "stair-climbing" marathon. Over 2,100 participants braved the "stairs" to climb directly to the 73rd-floor rooftop.
The race, known as the "Vertical Marathon," is held annually at a hotel in the heart of Singapore, a city filled with skyscrapers.
This year, more than 2,100 people from 27 countries and regions around the world participated in the race, starting from the first floor of the hotel in groups of 5 or 6.
The 73-story hotel stands 226 meters tall, and participants climbed 1,336 emergency stairs to reach the roof.
After the race began, the participants climbed with great momentum; however, after the 40th floor, some participants were seen holding onto the railings while gasping for air, and some collapsed on the ground after reaching the finish line.
Most participants completed the course in about 15 to 20 minutes.
A Singaporean woman who reached the finish line said: "This is my second time participating in the race, but it still feels quite grueling. This event can train one's mental strength; it is truly remarkable."
