Organised by the Department of Student Development, the annual Poly50 Campus Relay was inaugurated in the 1970s at the Prince Edward Road Campus. Students then used to run along the classroom corridors and subsequently on muddy tracks around the campus.
When the campus shifted to Ayer Rajah, running took place around the workshops. And when the event shifted to its final destination at Dover Road Campus in 1980, participants raced 50 rounds along a 600-metre route, flanked by workshops and the main administration building. The only time the event was run in 30 laps was in 1984 when SP celebrated her 30th Anniversary. In 2012, the route was changed to be around the Eleven Square area. Subsequently, the routes have been updated over the years to reflect the dynamic changes in SP.
