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.

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.
