i think they limit to 4000 participants so hope would not pose too much problems.

The added plus is that the kids get to run on the roads around the padang. It's part of the F1 route too. Will share experience after the run. No probs.

Remember to equip your kids with walkie talkies.

Mine already P6 so no worry. But the ones younger than P1 must run with one parent. so wont get lost.

I did this last year. IMO, really not worth the hassle.

HI,

Chance upon this posting. My 2 children (12 & 11) are taking part in the Kidsrun this year. They asked me to let them go.

I think it will be a good experience for the children to experience the race as well as give them a sense of pride by wearing the number tag with their names of it.

They might be so hook up that they end up doing long distance run when they are older.

Just for the fun of it.[/b]

Let me give my feed back on this event. I have previously signed up my elder boy (5) for this last June, and then both the elder and younger for the StanChart kids event in December. I do long distance running myself and encourage my kids to exercise regularly. Frankly, the Kid’s run was a bit of a mess and a let down as far as a running experience goes. StanChart was probably better. As a day out for family fun, yah maybe ok. As a running experience to trigger interest in the activity? I’d doubt it…


For the record I won’t be signing the kids up for either event this year.
