Son took part in the speedy dash today. Due to the extremely tiny-t he had, he turned up in his school PE gear. Think he was a it self conscious.


2 kids in the first wave of runners took a tumble as there were some jostling. Other than that, the organisers did a great job ensuring the run went smoothly. Not sure how the event with the younger ones went, though.

Son got a chance to dash from the padang, turn at fullerton hotel, round the old parliament building and finished 1.4km. His first competitive run and he completed it with a huge smile on his face and a medal which he was so proud of. Glad I signed him up.

Great experience for him.

Hi


Same here. I am also glad that I signed my son up. He was really extremely excited abt the medal too! He said he would want to train up for next year's run!!

Besides the concern over the measurement of the t-shirts, I thought the event went really well.

My girl too, she’s very proud and claimed that it’s her first medal, with many more to come.


I guess all the races start quite promptly, the only complain i have is that at the end of the race, they didn’t give out the certificates to all participants or the so called goody bags. Luckily my nephew completed the age 5-6 race earlier and we were aware of it and asked. The organisers were still packing them…hmm thought they would know the number of participants and prepared sufficient bags? Also they have different items in the bags for different races? My girl only has 2 friendship bands, a FILA sticker and the certificate in the bag.

my boy completed the blue sky chase today too…

he enjoyed it thoroughly … but i guess like most 3-yr-olds he is more fascinated by the balloons than the "i am a winner" star medal…

i think that it is generally still a well organised event.

I think it was a very well plan event. My girls went for the Purple Chase event and too enjoyed themsevles. They were thrill running along the anderson bridge and also crossing the finishing lines.

You’re welcome, kingrascal. In fact, I only found out when I got an email from organisers of the women’s 10k event. I dont think the kids’ run organisers sent out any emails. I’ve received the pic of sonny with both feet in the air. Very well taken , I must say.
