Run on 18 July - MacRitchie Reservoir Park and u turn at Bukit Timah Visitor Centre

Time taken : 3 hr 44 mins 10 secs
Distance : 21.94 km
Avg Speed : 5.9 km/h, 10min 13sec per km.

Join punggol runners for this sunday run at MacRitchie Reservoir Park to Bukit Timah Visitor Centre and u turn back. Treating this as North Face 50km training.

Meet at sk cc at 0630 hrs. Hitch a ride to MacRitchie. Met up with the rest of the runners and we set off at 0718 hrs.

Its really a tough "trek". Need to climb over 2 fallen tree branches along the way and step through small puddle of water along the way.

Finally reach the Bukit Timah visitor centre and saw the famous long upslope that i will need to tackle during the actual North Face run.

After resting a fair bit at the visitor centre, we make our way back.

With such poor timing, it is really doubtful whether i can meet the 9 hours cutoff time. Anyway, since i already signup, got to at least give it a shot.

Below is the route from Visitor Centre to MacRitchie.



Half way point. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.
