Singapore maybe one of the smallest countries in the world. Even so, there is still a great quantity of unknown territories yet to explore. Besides, avid runners like yourselves may want to seek out different locations to run at as running within the same parks<\/a> and reservoirs<\/a> could be pretty boring.<\/p>\n

Thus, lace up your shoes and check out these 5 unusual places in Singapore you can run in but don’t know about.<\/p>\n

1. Khoo Teck Puat Hospital<\/h2>\n

How is it possible to run in the hospital? Is it the gym? Or the treadmills? Or could it be a running track within the hospital?<\/p>\n

As weird as it seems, it is technically true that you are able to run within Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. However, it is Yishun Pond Park we are referring to. This smoke-free park is located directly beside the hospital, providing an ease of access when running. On the other hand, take a break on the many benches provided and enjoy the serenity of the lake.<\/p>\n

If you are thinking that you would be able to run wild within the hospital, we apologise. But hey, at least there are food courts and eateries at your convenience when feeling famished.<\/p>\n

How to get there?<\/h4>\n

By foot:<\/strong> A 10 minutes walk from Yishun MRT Station.
\nBy car:<\/strong> Short drive to KTP Hospital, and walk from there.
\nBy public transport:<\/strong> There’s actually a shuttle service. Either way take to\u00a0Yishun MRT Station and walk.<\/p>\n

2. Champions Way<\/h2>\n

Have you heard of this legendary road? To residents residing around Woodlands, “Champions Way” is simply just a normal street name. However, anyone from the Singapore Sports School perceives it as something greater. This street was initially a project for the school’s Value-In-Action initiative, which italicise the significance of a\u00a0Champion for Others by giving back to the society and aiding the less fortunate.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the main attraction would be running along or up the luscious\u00a0grassland, which is located beside both the Singapore Sports School and Innova Junior College. Do remember to bring along your camera as the scenery up there is worth snapping.<\/p>\n

3. Pipeline Trails<\/h2>\n

You would know that Malaysia supplies Singapore with water, but have you seen the water pipelines? The majority of these pipes is actually buried underground. However, there are some pipelines,\u00a0which are fully functioning, above the surface along the SLE (Seletar Expressway). This trail traces the passage from Bukit Panjang to Woodlands, or Vice versa.<\/p>\n
