Features:
For a scenic destination run, take the 10-minute ‘bumboat’ ride from Changi Point to Pulau Ubin Island. The island is a large nature sanctuary featuring wetlands, mangrove swamps, and lush, wooded trails. There’s a variety of wide, easy trails, and some trickier hiking/trail running options. A few favorite areas for running are below. TRAIL MAP
Wetlands & Quarry Loop. 5 km. Located at the eastern end of the island, this is one of the more scenic runs on Pulau Ubin. Start with a 1 km loop of the Ckek Jawa Wetlands, including the scenic boardwalk. Then, run the trail out to the Balai Quarry Viewpoint, looping back along Jln Sam Heng & Jln Durian Rd., to the lush trail passing the Common Pulai Heritage Tree. ROUTE MAP
Ketam Quarry Area. Mainly wooded trails around this quarry. It’s also a popular mountain biking area. You can also take the trail out to the northwest tip of the island. The trails in this area are more rugged.
Island Roads. The island roads are also runnable, and are a good option if you don’t want to do the trails. Note that there’s no shoulder or sidewalk along the roads, but there’s very little traffic. Most of the roads are interior and fairly wooded.
- Depends on route chosen
- Generally flat, with some hillier sections in the interior
- 10-minute inexpensive bumboat ride from Changi Point Ferry Terminal
