On the evening of 26th September 2008, the Republic Polytechnic (RP) Sports Complex was
filled with the excitement of competition at the annual RP Biathlon 2008. This event was jointly organised by the Office of Student and Graduate Affairs, Republic Polytechnic Sports Club and Sports Science Academy by SHL. The event was also proudly sponsored by Arena, Nutri Park and Essential Timings. We were glad to invite our
Principal, Mr. Yeo Li Pheow to be the Guest of Honour for the event.
The RP Biathlon featured the Bi-Lite category, which consisted of a 200m swim and 800m run and the Sprint category - a 400m swim and 1.5km run. Under these two categories, there were individual and team relay sub-categories for both staff and students to participate. RP also invited other institutions such as NP, NYP, TP, SP, NUS, and NTU to participate in the invitational category.
As part of a fringe activity for the RP Biathlon, OSG also organised the first RP Brisk walk. Our
Principal was invited to lead the participants for a brisk walk around the 1.5km Admiralty Park route.
