National Vertical Marathon (NVM) is an alternative approach to conventional flat road marathons. It is a sport that takes advantage of the many skyscrapers in Singapore. Given its unique nature, NVM has attracted remarkable response over the past 21 years since its inception in NTU Sports Club in 1994.
NVM 2016 is proudly organised by the 22nd NVM Organising Committee. The committee seeks to bring the simple sport of stair-climbing to every sportsman and non- sportsman.
Every year, volunteers play an important role in the success of the event. This year, the committee is looking to recruit like-minded and passionate individuals as volunteers to help out in the event.
