About this route
The Round Island Route is Singapore’s flagship recreational corridor: Phase 1 runs 75 unbroken kilometres around the island’s eastern half, from Rower’s Bay at Lower Seletar, through Punggol, Pasir Ris and Changi, down the coastal connector, along East Coast and Marina Bay, up the Singapore River and out to Berlayer Creek at Labrador. When complete it will form a continuous 150 km loop.
Terrain is almost entirely flat park connector, so the challenge is pure distance and heat management. Toilets and water points appear regularly through the parks; the Tanah Merah coastal stretch is the long exposed test in the middle. Budget five to six unhurried hours and it becomes one of the great one-day achievements in Singapore cycling.

Open Route in Google Maps needs nothing extra. It opens the Maps app (or website) with the whole route already plotted as pins, ready to cycle. The GPX download is useful if you navigate with an app like Komoot or Strava, or a Garmin/Wahoo bike computer. On longer routes Google may smooth a corner or two, since it draws its own path between the pins; the map below shows our fuller route line.
