Walking is one of the easiest ways to stay fit, and now Singaporeans can even get rewarded for it. The newly launched Walking Trails@CDC Programme allows residents to explore scenic neighbourhoods, enjoy light exercise, and earn supermarket vouchers. With up to S$50 worth of RedeemSG vouchers, this initiative blends fun, health, and community engagement.
Understanding the Walking Trails CDC Programme
The programme is organised by the five Community Development Councils (CDCs) and combines physical activity with digital interaction. Each trail is designed to highlight local culture, history, and green spaces. Along the way, participants can scan QR codes at checkpoints and meet digital mascots called CDC Ollies, each symbolising values like kindness and respect. This approach encourages both healthy living and community connection, making it suitable for all age groups.
The Five Scenic Trails
The trails are spread across Singapore, each between 4 and 5.5 kilometres long. They are easy to complete and family-friendly.
| CDC District | Trail Route | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Central Singapore | Kreta Ayer Square to Fort Canning Centre | ~4.7 km |
| North East | Punggol Waterway Point to Digital District | ~4.5 km |
| North West | Cashew MRT to Bukit Timah Railway Station | ~5.5 km |
| South East | Fort Tanjong Katong to Siglap Canal Deck | ~4.9 km |
| South West | Beauty World MRT to Little Guilin | ~4.35 km |
Rewards and Voucher Breakdown
Participants can earn a total of S$50 in RedeemSG vouchers by completing all trails. The reward structure is simple:
- S$5 voucher for completing a trail by checking in at all five checkpoints
- Extra S$5 voucher for collecting all CDC Ollies on the same trail
- Up to S$10 per trail and S$50 in total for all five trails
These vouchers can be redeemed at major supermarkets and partner outlets that accept RedeemSG, helping with everyday groceries and essentials.
Who Can Join and How
Participation is open to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents aged 15 and above. To join, participants simply need to log in using their Singpass, ensure they have an account with CrowdTaskSG, and then select a trail to begin their walk. The process is quick and convenient, allowing participants to complete the trails at their own pace.
