ABOUT US
Got an Attitude for Altitude?
The SMUX Trekking Team was started as a platform for members passionate about trekking to prepare and build camaraderie for treks together.
Join us on our Wednesday runs or Saturday hikes, to meet new people and get your weekly dose of exercise!

Look out for our upcoming orienteering sessions, campfires and even an overseas expedition!

OUR PEOPLE IN ACTION
DO I NEED TO AUDITION TO GET INTO THE CLUB?
No, we are a club that is open to anyone with a readiness to explore the outdoors!
"In the recent months, I've been clocking 10k steps daily around my hood. This actually grew my interest to hike and explore even further/venture out into new places I've never been to before! Also, I love love nature, and would love to make friends over such activities" :)
- Lim Zi Qi, School Of Accountancy Year 1
"I enjoy hiking as I get to unwind in nature, I hope to find like-minded peers who share the same interests."
- Apple Lim, School Of Business Year 2
