I signed the 2 boys up for kids dash this year. It's Caden's 2nd attempt at the kids dash while it's Ethan's maiden marathon event.
As the roads in town were majorly closed for this year's marathon, we decided to park near my office and take the circle line down to esplanade station to reach the starting point (we were fairly late this morning so did not have the time to visit the games booth as planned. Ethan rarely takes the public transport and was finding it fun to ride the train.
the race was scheduled to start at 1045am and 11am for both Caden and Ethan respectively (they belong to different age groups with different start times). We decided to defer Caden's run to start with Ethan so that both brothers can do the run together at the same time and motivate each other. The sun was scorching hot during that time and Ethan started to show signs of tiredness after waiting for 15minutes (he even had to sit on my legs when we pose for pictures!).

Finally the race started and PaPa managed to get Ethan start running with the rest of the kids - btw, throughout the 750m distance, this is the only stretch he ran (the rest of the journey was carried by PaPa)
Caden has been conditioned by Mummy prior to her ankle injury and had managed to cover almost 70% of the distance via running - I am so proud of his determination although I need to admit it's not easy given the humidity at that time (11plus am) and his pace is comparable to my injured ankle pace.

the 2 boys got their rewards at the games booth after the run
We also had a Polaroid taken at the resorts world booth as a bonus
