MacRitchie Reservoir

This is a very scenic Singapore running route that really brings you close to nature and eventually leads you into the jungle. But if you are planning to run here, make sure that you eat up any food inside your bag before actually embarking on the run – because there are monkeys here, that will not hesitate to steal food.

Make sure that you go to the toilet before your run too, because there aren’t any bathroom facilities or water fountains along the way. But if you really need to do your business during the run, there are always the bushes – as a last resort.
