Notes for 3km Family Run 

• Prepare an extra set of clothes for children participating in the race.
• Bring wet towels, drinking water and biscuits to help children replenish their energy.
• It is ideal to engage children in light exercises for 20 to 30 minutes daily if time allows as pre-race practice. Start with sprint running, chasing running, and then progress to intermittent fast running and slow running to complete the specified mileage. Do not put too much pressure on children, let them enjoy the fun of the race and share the joy of parent-child bonding.
• Before the competition, make sure to let the children do sufficient warm-up exercises and also give them some water to drink. Ensure the water temperature is not too cold or too hot to avoid affecting digestion or making it difficult to drink.
• After the race, let the children rest to recover their energy and change into dry clothes. It is advisable for them to go to bed early when they return home that evening.
