This is a unique and verdant run through a lush landscape, featuring two lengthy ‘tree walks’ — springy bridges above the canopy — plus the impressive Henderson Wave and Alexandra Arch pedestrian bridges. The ‘Southern Ridges’ area comprises four connected green spaces forming sort of a linear park: Kent Ridge Park, Hort Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, and Mount Faber Park. There are paved multi-use paths connecting these parks, plus an option to take more rugged, gravel paths as well. Our thanks to Tanya J. for her contributions to this route!
The full route is up to 7.5 km one-way, including the ~1 km from the Kent MRT Station to Kent Ridge Park. The hilly route is rewarded with splendid views of the canopy and the city. There are water bubblers at Kent Ridge Park and before Henderson Waves Bridge.
One alternative option for a start is at Alexandra Canal, where you can run on a decent sidewalk along Henderson Rd./Mount Faber Rd. for 2 km south into Mount Faber Park.
