13177 Hypersonic October 18, 2012 Share October 18, 2012 Ran a couple of times at MacRitchie & saw many monkeys. These monkeys are very used to ppl and will not attack passer-by unless you provoked them, entice them with food or carry a plastic bag which monkeys assume that's food! Also do not look directly into their eyes as they thot you are challenging them... Overall, I will say it is quite safe. Lol, cause i know these monkeys are too used to people, so when they see people running/walking past them, they thought you have food for them or want to make friends with them, and maybe they would 'attack' you?! That time when i run past a group of monkeys, as i was carrying a bottle of water, so afraid that they will chase after me for that bottle! If monkeys are generally safe, then i can continue my run at nature reserve area. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atonchia Supersonic October 18, 2012 Share October 18, 2012 the other day was out cycling and saw wild pig in Punggol... Which part of the park did you see it? I did see quite a lot of eagles at around the Coney island area. But wild boars could come from the Lor halus area? Need to check which stretch to look out because, I run almost all the waterway in Punggol on Sunday(21km) so will have no strength to outrun any of these wild animals.

Usually will go to bt timah or rifle range road area to run or hike. There are many monkeys along the rifle range road! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, either you go running in a group or maybe consider changing location to MacRitchie? It is a nice environment with many joggers & serene too!

It is a nice environment with many joggers & serene too! Running into Bukit Timah, Gungsa, Zhenhua, Butterfly is another experience. Alternatively try woodcutters that is totally different and more technical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think more people hike around bt timah rather than running. Only once a while can find some people running at rifle range road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you cross the road near the marina. One loop from Popeyes across sunrise bridge past the marina back to Popeyes is about 14 km right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atonchia Supersonic October 19, 2012 Share October 19, 2012 Where you cross the road near the marina. One loop from Popeyes across sunrise bridge past the marina back to Popeyes is about 14 km right? Should be around there, usually I start from the junction of Punggol road & Punggol Drive near Damai LRT to the Buangkok Bridge to KPE then u-turn back is 10km. For 21km, I would run across sunrise bridge on the return leg from towards Coney island direction along the coast,to Punggol marina, all the way back to opposite bank of my starting point, run to the waterway that goes towards the Coney Island, cross a bridge, u-turn back continue on the track towards Sunrise bridge till near water waterway brooks is 21km.
