Mandai Zoo-Kranji Dam Running Route (15.5km)

Training. This will be my second long-distance training run for the Standard Chartered Marathon, so the distance is increased to 15.5km.

Toughness. The route is what I would call a 'dry' route, because there are not many places along the route where you can buy a drink other than 1 or 2 shops near Kranji. So this may be a challenging route, especially for the current hot weather.

Where you can get drinks. (1) There are 'mama' shops and coffee shops at the junction between Kranji Loop and Kranji Road (thankfully!). (2) There is also an industrial food centre along Sungei Kadut Street 1.

Meeting Place. Your running group can meet at the Mandai Zoo entrance (via 927, 926 or 138).

What's nice. Follow the route map all the way to Kranji Dam, where you can take nice photographs of yourselves in the scenic view overlooking the Straits of Johor. If you have not been to the Kranji Dam, you really should try this route :). It's quite a nice and peaceful place in the evening.
