Singapore has rolled out an exciting new initiative in 2025 that rewards residents for exploring their communities while staying active.
The Walking Trails@CDC programme, launched by the five Community Development Councils (CDCs) in collaboration with GovTech, allows participants to earn up to S$50 in RedeemSG vouchers by completing walking trails across the island.
This programme blends fitness, digital innovation, and community bonding, giving Singaporeans a reason to step outdoors and reconnect with local spaces.
How the Walking Trails Programme Works
The Walking Trails@CDC programme is structured as a “phygital” activity. This means participants complete physical trails in their neighbourhoods while engaging with digital tasks via their mobile phones.
- Each trail includes five checkpoints.
- Participants must scan QR codes at each checkpoint using their phones.
- Alongside checkpoints, users collect animated mascots called CDC Ollies, which represent values like community, inclusion, and social responsibility.
Participation is simple. All you need is a Singpass login and a linked CrowdTaskSG account. Once you start the trail, your progress is automatically tracked, and rewards are unlocked upon completion.
Trail Locations and Route Information
The programme spans five trails, each located in a different CDC district. Distances vary between 4 km to 5.5 km, making them suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
| CDC District | Route Description | Approx. 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 Lookout Deck | ~4.9 km |
| South West | Beauty World MRT to Little Guilin | ~4.35 km |
Each route is clearly marked with signboards and QR codes, so participants can walk at their own pace. The trails showcase Singapore’s green spaces, heritage landmarks, and neighbourhood gems.
Breakdown of Voucher Rewards
The most attractive part of this programme is the reward system. By completing trails, participants can earn vouchers worth up to S$50.
- S$5 voucher for scanning all five trail checkpoints.
- S$5 voucher for collecting all five digital mascots (CDC Ollies).
That means you can earn S$10 per trail. With five trails available, the total reward adds up to S$50 vouchers.
These vouchers are disbursed via the RedeemSG platform and can be used at approved supermarkets, hawker stalls, and retail outlets.

Objectives Behind the Trail Programme
The government launched this initiative with multiple goals in mind:
- Encouraging active lifestyles – walking is a simple, low-impact exercise for all ages.
- Boosting digital engagement – integrating Singpass and CrowdTaskSG into daily life.
