Parents can now look forward to being a part of the action with their children of ages 7 to 12 in the newly introduced Happy Green Family Chase. As a parent and child team, they are encouraged to cross the finish line together. The Happy Green Family Chase truly underlines the run’s aim of creating a unique family bonding opportunity through the spirit of healthy living.
Families with toddlers between 6 months and 23 months are also not left out of the run. They can participate in a firm family favourite, the Mamil Gold Stroller Chase. A distinctive non-competitive category, it will see parents from all walks of life taking their babies in strollers for a 800m fun run.

On the day of the run, an entertaining Race Carnival will be held at the Padang, where parents and kids can anticipate fun-filled activities and stand the chance to win attractive prizes. Some of the highlights of the event day include Zorbing and a Kangoo Jump Obstacle Course meant specially to keep the kids entertained.
