My Rave Run at Nassim Road - 2 loops of 4 km each

Starting at the junction of Cluny / Evans Road opposite the entrance of Botanic Gardens East Gate


I have been running this route for the longest time. The reasons I run it are as listed below :

1. Proximity to home (5 minutes by car)
2. Access to car park just 2 minutes away from start point
3. Wide and (most importantly) tree lined roads more like avenues
4. Embassy row or many embassies are located here, so not many condominiums and hence not so many school buses plying the area causing noise and smoke pollution at 6 am in the mornings ! 
5. Many shrubs to put my isotonic drinks by the roadside. :)

So here goes the route (4 km or so) ;

Start at one end of Nassim Road, and head up the small hillock towards Orchard Road.
Turn right at Lermit Road and run one lap stopping at Cluny Road junction and head back
Turn right and head towards the Orchard Road area, to your left are the embassies of Philippines, Japan Embassy and that of Saudi Arabia.
At the end of Nassim Road at the T junction leading to Orchard Road, head back the same way and make a left turn back along Lermit Road and do the same forward and back.
Once back after Lermit Road, turn left and head towards the start point, the Russian embassy is to your left.

This constitutes 1 Lap of roughly 4 km length. It should take you about 20 to 25 minutes to complete.
