Notes for 3km Family Run 

  • Prepare an extra set of clothes for children participating in the race.

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.
