SINGAPORE

Singapore is known for its reputation as a country with rapid economic growth, beautiful skylines and delicious food. To pay homage to its reputation, most tours in Singapore centre around the Singapore River. It has watched over the growth of Singapore (from a humble fishing village to becoming one of the busiest ports in the world today) and has supported the livelihoods of many Singaporeans. The Merlion, the iconic landmark of Singapore, represents the centrepiece of the tour and no run is complete without a photo of the iconic Marina Bay Sands in the background.

Beyond the bustling river and the cityscape, we will dive deeper into the stories of the people, history and culture of Singapore. Depending on the Running Tour that you booked, you will be guided to landmarks that showcase the history, artistry and culture of Singaporeans. Some of these landmarks include CHIJMES (a Catholic convent school and orphanage founded by French nuns) and vibrant murals on shophouses hand-painted by locals.

If you want a run with nature instead, that can be easily arranged. We have green spaces built around and through the island, acting as park connectors throughout Singapore in addition to several Parks and Reserves that are great for hikes.

Singapore is also a host to several running events throughout the year, namely the Singapore Marathon that is hosted every December along with several half marathons. Most runs start early (4.30am) and involve closing off parts of the city such that runners get to experience running on some flyovers and need not worry about the heat and traffic.

Go! Running Tours Singapore will show you the main highlights and stories of the city. At the end of the running tour, you will be sure to have eye-catching photos and new knowledge about the city in your pocket.
