Stand Chart Kids Dash 2018

[Media Invite]

We were one of the last to start in our batch.

We participated in our first ever Stand Chart Kids Dash this year and it was held in one very happy place for the kiddos, Universal Studios Singapore! We know the place pretty well and the kiddos also knew what rides they want to do at the back of their heads but this time, we are going to be there for a run instead and needed to report before 7am for the event, which elicited some yawns from the kiddos on site!

The kiddos were not in a hurry for sure.

Managed to get some photos but were soon caught up by participants in the next batch.

The standard race $35 package consists of a runner tee by Under Armour, a goodie bag (some coupons, Sharity Elephant figurine, towel etc) and the finisher medal (which was pretty cute). It does not include USS park admission though, and you need to be out of the park before 9.30am. If you want to continue on to play, you will need to get the $100 race package which included tickets for one adult + one child which is quite a steal. But be prepared too, for longer queues because of this great deal.

The dash was over just like that!

Queued up for a photo with Cookie Monster!

The race itself is a short 600m dash around the park and will be over before you know it. We were expecting some entertainment after the run but there were only a queue for a meet-and-greet with the "character of the hour" from Sesame Street. We met Cookie Monster, but some friends met Elmo instead. I was actually planning on getting back near to the entrance for some more photos but were directed to the queue for drinks and only noticed that we were already out of the park after collecting them.

We were on the monorail back after collecting our drinks through this queue.

Pretty cute medal that the kiddos loved.

Well it was a fun dash for the kiddos in a familiar setting but they would have seriously preferred a later starting timing, or perhaps even a night run instead. Thank you for having our family for the kids dash Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon!
