The MacRitchie Reservoir is the oldest reservoir in Singapore and lies in the northcentral part of the country. This virtual run will take you on a 6.5 mile (10.6km) trail around the circumference of the reservoir. The run will start at the main access point to park, where you’ll proceed to see the reservoir on your lefthand side. Out on the water you’ll see rowing teams practicing their skills and racing other boats. At about 2:50 into the run you’ll get a brief glimpse of a monitor lizard walking along the bottom right side of the path. Right after seeing the lizard you’ll make a turn and head into the nature trail where rocky terrain, rolling hills, and mostly shaded jungle forest await. You’ll see hikers, a few runners, and you’ll even come across a handful of monkeys along the path. After running through the dense jungle for the first half of the run, the second half of the run is mostly along the reservoir, much of it on a boardwalk. You’ll pass by the Singapore Island Country Club, a place where membership fees cost upwards of $150,000 annually. The run finishes right where you started, at the main entry point to the park and in front of the Mushroom Café. Enjoy this hour long run on one of the most popular nature trails in Singapore!
