In conjunction with DBS’s 50th anniversary, DBS is taking the seventh edition of the DBS Marina Regatta to another level. DBS will be extending the event over two weekends instead of one and also, collaborating with Under Armour, an American sports brand, to introduce the most technically challenging obstacle course in Southeast Asia.

DBS Marina Regatta will be on 26-27 May and 2-3 June, held at The Promontory @ Marina Bay. It is open to everyone from adrenaline junkies, urban athletes to families looking for some fun by the Bay.

DBS Singapore Country Head, Sim S. Lim said:

The DBS family looks forward to hosting Singaporeans from all walks at the DBS Marina Regatta every year. This year’s regatta is especially significant for us as we are also celebrating our golden jubilee. To mark this special occasion, we have curated a series of activities that best represents what makes DBS special to our customers. We have Battle Bay Extreme which best demonstrates our tenacious spirit, Asia’s largest dragon boating competition which plays to our spirit of excellence and competition and a Creator’s Market which represents our spark of creativity and all things fun.

Compete and push to your limits for a good cause

Battle Bay Extreme intends to push participant’s limits and let them dig deep to draw out their tenacious spirit beyond just physical strength but also mental spirit, endurance and speed. Participants able to choose from three thrilling levels, ranging from beginner (Initiate), intermediate (Intense) to advanced (Insane). For the participants to be prepared for the Battle Bay Extreme, DBS will be holding a series of complimentary fitness and wellness activities around the Bay starting from 17 April.

By participating in the Battle Bay Extreme, participants will be pushing their limits for a good cause. On top of donating S$50,000, DBS will also donate all registration fees from the Battle Bay Extreme to Thye Hua Kwan in support of their adoption of innovative solutions for Active Aging seniors. The donation will likely add up to be over S$100,000. Leading the celebrity challenge to raise funds for charity will be Joseph Schooling, Singapore’s Olympic Games, World Championships and Asian Games medallist.

Lim commented on how he is pleased to welcome Joseph Schooling to the Marina Regatta. He said:

We have always been committed to bringing joyful experiences to the visitors of the Bay, and this year is no different. We are pleased to welcome Singapore’s golden boy Joseph Schooling to the DBS Marina Regatta. He is an inspiration to everyone and embodies the spirit of excellence that also drives Singaporeans to reach greater heights.
