The 31st Inter-Hotel Athletic Meet took place on 30 June 2012 at the Yio Chu Kang Stadium. This year saw a total of 24 teams pitting against each other for the championship title.
Once again, RC Hotels (Pte) Ltd outdid the other teams and secured the championship title for the third year in a row. In addition, RC Hotels snagged the "Best Team Men"and the "Best Individual Performance - Male Athlete" awards.
On retaining the title, Mr Carlos Monterde, Hotel Manager, Fairmont Singapore shared his elation, "The whole team is thrilled to have won for the third consecutive year. The athletic meet is a great team work exercise that we enjoy every year. Training for the athletic meet starts early in the year for us but quite frankly, the best perfromers are the ones that train on their own.
Not many people can attend the organised sessions since operations always take priority over the sports activities. We are competitive and we enjoy winning so our team members enjoy training on their own time to be ready for the SHA athletic meet. However, winning is just the icing on the cake. We enjoy as much the camaraderie among the hotels, and it is great to see the new hotels joining in the event."
The event which drew the most attention was the 100M GM Race. Cheers erupted and the beating of the drums intensified as the General Managers of the respective hotels raced towards the finishing line. The results of the GM Race were as follows:
