Embracing the theme “I am my hero,” this year’s KIDS RUN will support our beloved angels to individually join and finish the race themselves on December 10th, 2022.
RUNNING WITHOUT PARENTS and guided by nearly 100 volunteers and security personnel, KIDS RUN participants will enjoy the freedom and build the confidence of running independently and amongst their peers on a fully closed and monitored out-and-back course. This new format, which we have successfully implemented in our recent Hanoi KIDS Run and Phu Quoc IRONKIDS events, will apply to the 1.5Km and 3km events.

5. Finish Line
– 16h onwards: After reaching the finish line, our volunteers will lead the children to the end of the finish area and hand them to the parents. Parents line up by location and pick up their children at the waiting gates.
Finishers will have had access to refreshments including ice cream before rejoining parents and then proceed to the event photo booth for pictures after race.
We are excited to have your children showcase their ability to their inner heroes this Saturday afternoon before celebrating with the families and supporters afterward with our many kids and family activities on offer.
Thank you and see you at the start line!
