Kids Run 2012

It's that time of the year again when kids get to wake up early, not to go to school but for a race around the city. It's the annual Cold Storage Kids Run .

Had an early start today as the reporting time at the holding areas was early. Paolo's 1.6km race was at 8:30 am while Paige's 800m race was at 10:00am.

There was a carnival atmosphere at The Padang. A lot of families brave the heat to attend this special sporting event. Mascots were also present to cheer the kids on. Lots of booths were set up with refreshments for the kids.

We had a special guest with us during the event, my sister Princess flew in from the Philippines to cheer the kids. She even ran beside Paolo during the race and this made her "son" one happy boy. My brother Dusteen was the official photographer for the day. He ran both the 1.6km and the 800m, but he was on the sidelines.

I am so proud of my kids for finishing their respective races amidst the heat. And I mean, the sun was really generous this morning. 

The event was a success and hope we could run again next year...

All set for the KIDS RUN!

This will be the second time we will be joining this Annual Family Sports Event, the Cold Storage Kids Run.

Ever since we read about this event, it has been one of our family's must - do activity. It not only teaches our kids about sportsmanship but also how fun it is to be involved in sports.

 

The week long preparations started today with the collection of the Race Packs at the F1 Pit Building. A sort of carnival like atmosphere was present at the building as kids were able to play some games while the parent's queue up and take care of some race formalities.

Aside from the race packs, the kids were also given a free one year membership to the Singapore Sport's Council's Sport On Kids Club. This is because we registered early. I am one happy mom with this.

Paige will be joining the group of kids aged 2-4 years old and will run 800 meters.

While Paolo will be running a 1.6 km race with kids aged 9-10 years old.

We surely can't wait for next Sunday's family bonding during race day!

I do hope there would be similar types of events like these in the Philippines. :)
