Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Singapore is a garden city you can run almost all year round — as long as you pick the right hour. At first light, before the heat builds and the bay fills up, the city suddenly shrinks to human scale: a flat loop around Marina Bay facing the skyline, a seafront that runs on for kilometres, a tropical rainforest twenty minutes from downtown, and walkways suspended above the canopy. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the iconic Marina Bay loop between the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands and the Helix Bridge, the coastal ribbon of East Coast Park by the water, the shaded trails of MacRitchie and its TreeTop Walk, or the hills of the Southern Ridges linked by Henderson Waves. Not an air-conditioned tour bus, not a random jog around your hotel: one hour of running with someone who lives here, at your pace, who knows the cool hour, the water points and the right tempo in the tropics.
Come, I'll take you running
To get taken running in Singapore, book a run on TourMyRun: a local runner welcomes you and their group at a meeting point, and you set off along their route, at your own pace, for the length of a run — often around an hour. You never run alone, and there's nothing for you to organise.

Get the free guideYour guide isn't a service provider — they're a Singaporean who loves to run and wants to show you their city. They adjust the pace and distance to your level, and pick the route to suit the hour and the weather — and in the tropics that changes everything: they know the cool window at daybreak, the shaded stretches, the water fountains and the start point best served by the MRT. They show you the Singapore you won't find in guidebooks: the quietest quay on Marina Bay, the MacRitchie trail where you'll pass macaques, the walkway with the best harbour view. Many of our Singapore guides are running-club members and sports students who know their training loops by heart. You leave with a real memory — and often a GPX track to run again on your own.
Looking for someone to run with in Singapore? A local is ready to go. Rather than running alone in a city you don't know, you join a resident who already runs this ground: they open up their route, match the pace to yours, and show you the city on the move.
Not here for the performance? Many guides offer an easy-paced discovery run — a gentle jog, almost at walking pace, to see the city without racing through it. You stop at the viewpoints and take the time to look: it's a way to discover Singapore on the move with a local, at a pace that lets you take everything in.
Yes. On TourMyRun, a run is led by a local who welcomes a small group of runners: you join others — visitors or locals — for a shared group run, without ever having to run alone. It's the group of a TourMyRun run, led by a resident — not an outside club or crew.
Public, well-known routes you can run on your own — a solid plan B to get moving right away. But the best of TourMyRun is still discovering them with a local who takes you, at your pace.
The iconic flat loop around the bay, car-free: Merlion, Esplanade, Helix Bridge, Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay one after another. Best at sunrise or in the evening when the skyline lights up. Easy to extend out to Gardens by the Bay.
Start : Merlion Park, Marina Bay waterfront
The reference flat seafront: a runners' path separate from the cycle lane, sea breeze and beaches the whole way. Run an out-and-back to your distance; perfect early in the morning before the heat.
Start : Marine Cove, East Coast Park
A tropical forest loop around the reservoir: shaded trails, then the TreeTop Walk (a 250 m suspension bridge) above the canopy, returning via the boardwalk. Gentle elevation and shade — the ultimate nature run.
Start : MacRitchie Reservoir Visitor Centre (Carpark A)
Start at Henderson Waves, Singapore's highest pedestrian bridge, then Forest Walk, Canopy Walk and Telok Blangah Hill Park. Elevation, forest and harbour views; extend to HortPark for 15 km+.

Your guide is a passionate amateur, not a professional. They are not paid: what you pay covers the organisation and a contribution towards the costs they incur — never a wage, never a service contract. It's a run between runners, not a ticketed tour.
Singapore is hot and humid all year round: the best time is early morning at daybreak, or in the evening after sunset. Guides often offer those slots, pick shaded routes (MacRitchie, Botanic Gardens) and show you where to hydrate. A tropical downpour can pass quickly — your guide adapts.
Usually around 1 hour, but it depends on the run you pick — each listing shows distance, duration and pace.
Yes, and in Singapore it's ideal: guides often offer sunrise and weekday slots, before the heat and the crowds — perfect between jet lag and a day of sightseeing or meetings.
Absolutely. If you know your routes by heart and enjoy running with others, you can offer your runs and choose your slots. It's voluntary: your costs are covered, never a wage.
Book a run on TourMyRun: a local runner takes you along their route and matches the pace to yours. You pick a slot, meet them at the meeting point, and run with company.
Yes — every TourMyRun run is led by a local who welcomes a small group. You join other runners for a shared run, and never run alone.
With a resident who knows the city. They open up their routes and their group: you discover Singapore like a local, not like a tourist.
Yes. Some guides offer an easy-paced discovery run, almost at walking pace, with stops at the viewpoints — to see the city on the move, at your own pace.
