RUNNING ROUTES

Where to run in

Singapore? Our panel

members share their

favourite routes.

I’ve really gotten into running lately and have

completed several half marathons with a group of

girlfriends. Most recently, we decided to register

for a few races outside of Singapore, including the

events in Angkor Wat and Borneo. It’s a great excuse

to travel! I’ve found that signing up for a race with a

few friends helps to keep you on a more consistent

training schedule and working towards a goal. – Dana

I’m more of a fast walker than a

runner. However, there are a few

running clubs that people can join in

Singapore. – Linda

My standard running route is up

Bukit Timah Road, along Scotts Road

and down to Orchard. Alternatively, I

run around Fort Canning or around

Marina Bay Sands, to the barrage and

through Gardens by the Bay (great for

the view). The Botanic Gardens is nice,

but very hot! – Lisa

When I’m in the mood for a run, I

head out across the street to Bukit

Batok Nature Reserve. It has several

different trails to choose from, so I

can adapt my run by time or distance.
