Millennia Kids Challenge 2016, cycling

[ Media Invite ]

We did not hesitate when we got an invitation to join Millennia Kids Challenge 2016, we had enjoyed our 2015 5km ride experience 🙂

Millennia Kids Challenge 2016 was both fun and sporty, and it offered another opportunity for families to bond through active lifestyle. It helped that the events was organised in our neighbourhood.

Families and bikes are ready !

Let’s go! 9 km around our neighbourhood. Overall a nice fun cycling gathering, but I would have prefer more marshals (or perhaps closure of one lane).
Some kids struggle up slopes and bridges, and might stray into another lane. It can be hard to manage the group when we are crossing traffic junctions.

Perhaps we can consider PCN (Parks Connector) to Waterway Point and back next season (8km)

Spidey was part of the convoy, and he was very popular for selfies 🙂

Millennia Kids Challenge 2016 allowed families to participate in obstacles challenge (confirm less tiring then Spartans) or go for a 9km cycling route. The “obstacles” include tennis, soccer and Aqua challenges too!

Nutritional meals, Sports and tobacco free, these are good starters to keep fit and stay Healthy. I always tell the kids cigarette is super expensive, they can buy a Happy Meal (ok, perhaps fast food not the healthiest too, everything in moderation hee hee )

We had mentioned before that Safari Zoo Run is our favourite Family Run in Singapore.

To be honest, the 5.5km route can be challenging, with a lot of slopes in Night Safari and Singapore Zoo.
There are a lot of “unofficial” stops for kids to catch-up and pose with their favourite animals!
From previous experience, the Elephants, Giraffes and Rhinos and of course Tigers and Lions are the popular spots.

Be it Running Jogging or Walking, take your time to enjoy the greenery, animals and family moments.

Read our 2016 and 2015 Safari Zoo Family Run episodes.
I am sure your family can relate the Fun 🙂
Family Run

For 2017, Safari Zoo Run has a special “Run For Wildlife” theme.
There are 4 animals (team) to choose from, Ah Meng the Orangutan, Chawang the Asian Elephant, Canola the Manatee and Sunny the Hornbill.

Whichever animal you choose, you are helping to contribute to Wildlife Conservation.

2017 Safari Zoo Run theme “Run for Wildlife” focuses on raising awareness for endangered species.
We love the idea that we can each contribute a small part to help raise awareness for wildlife conservation.

We are looking forward to conquer the ground around Singapore Zoo and Night Safari again! The Family who keeps fit together stays strong together.
