SMU organised its fourth installment of the SMU AdRace, an adventure trail that took place overnight from 4th to 5th May. Organized by the SMU X-tremists Club, the SMU AdRace 2013 had as many as 125 participants, making up a total of 44 teams – their largest intake so far. Bervyn Lee, Director of SMU’s Office of Student Life, shared his thoughts on what the appeal of multi-disciplinary sports was, “Sports take on many different forms. Traditional sports such as football, rugby or swimming will continue to attract a crowd of its own, but as time progresses, people would want a different kind of adrenaline rush. Events like the SMU AdRace tests the different kinds of skills and disciplines of an athlete, and that will ultimately appeal to the new generation of athletes.” Covering a total distance of 38 kilometres over a period of seven hours, the SMU AdRace 2013 featured a total of five different sports elements – cycling, running, rock climbing, swimming and skating.
