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.

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.
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+.
Start : Henderson Waves (from Mount Faber / HarbourFront)

Your guide is a passionate amateur, not a professional. What you pay covers the organisation and a contribution to your guide's time and expenses — not a commercial service. 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, choose your slots and receive a contribution for your time.
