Training. For people looking to start off their Marathon training with a 14-km route, you can try this one, takes you to perhaps places you never knew existed in Singapore :P.

Meeting Place. This route allows your running group to meet at a convenient spot Bukit Batok MRT station.

Where you can get a drink. The first 4-ish km is straight-forward road run until you hit the petrol station along Bukit Timah/Rifle Range (see map). Note that this will be your last hydration point before you carry on to do the next 10km, so drink up if you must.

What's nice. After the petrol stop, the route takes you inside Rifle Range road, leading to a bridge that cuts across BKE and into the MacRitchie reserve. From there, you can enjoy the forest trail run inside MacRitchie. It will be an interesting run for those adventurous souls.

Caution. Another caution is to start your run earlier to avoid being trapped in the darkness of the forest trail in the closing evening.
