Print Edition
ORGANIZERS of the Shanghai International Marathon has introduced a children’s “mini marathon” version for 5-12 year olds who want to join the craze for running.
Shangma Speed X Series Kids Run will be held at 8am on June 3 in Huangpu District, announced its organizer Donghao Lansheng Event Management Company. The event will set two disciplines — a 4.2-kilometer mini marathon for 9-12 year olds, and a 3km family run for children of 5 to 8.
The mini marathon will start and finish at Shanghai Children’s Art Theatre on Miaojiang Road and will also cover Bansongyuan, Longhua and Jumen roads. The 4.2km route is also part of the 42km route of the annual Shanghai International Marathon.
Medical and back-up help for the children’s events will be at the same level as the main marathon. Pacers and coaches will help children to warm up.
Each discipline features 2,000 runners. Those interested can log on to www.shang-ma.com for registration before 5pm on Friday. The entrance fee is 80 yuan (US$11.60) per person.
Participants in the 4.2km event can choose to run with or without an adult companion, while children taking part in the family run must have an adult alongside.
