Southern Ridges Walk (Eastbound Leg) & Social Dinner
About the event
Join us as we tackle the first half of our two-part Southern Ridges series! On this Eastbound leg, we will be conquering one of Singapore's most scenic elevated trails, covering approximately 6 km at a comfortable, conversational social pace. Highlights include traversing Alexandra Arch, strolling through the newly reopened Forest Walk canopy trail, scaling two distinct hill peaks, and crossing the iconic Henderson Waves before descending to HarbourFront. Afterward, unwind with fellow members over an optional social dinner and a festive rooftop experience!
