Last Sunday was a fun and eventful day for the family. It was our yearly fun adventure race with SAFRA AVventura - Families for Life.
This annual event is open to all families (1 parent/1 child team). You may sign up at their website here for future events. Race pack collection and race briefing was done on Saturday to prepare the participants.
It was a breezy, beautiful Sunday morning as we prepared ourselves for the race. Had early breakfast and headed off to SAFRA Yishun where the event was held. On a side note for all Singapore NSmen, if you are not a safra member yet, have a look at their portal as they have a lot of activities for all ages and is not too expensive to be a member. Their facilities are as good as private country clubs too.
As the flag off time was 9.00am, we were there early to mingle around with other participants. It was nice to see many parents out there getting their kids to be active instead of being stuck with electronics at home.

At 9.00am sharp, off went the horn, and off went the enthusiastic children. There were 2 categories in the kids race. The 'Ultra Kids' (11-15yrs old) and the 'Super Kids' (7 - 10yrs old) categories. Not forgetting the other categories like 'Youth', 'Sprint' and the 'Ultra' adults categories.

It was a fun race of running around and completing challenges for both categories. The challenges include blowing balloon till burst, bouncing ping pong balls into cups, air-rifle shooting, rock climbing, abseiling and others.

At the finishing point, the officials will check the completed race passport and the finisher medal will be given to the participants. The children were looking forward to achieving their hard earned medal, hahahaha.

The children had so much fun. As they ended the race with a fulfilling and happy heart, they were treated to FREE 100plus and water. There was a Families For Life truck that provided FREE potato chips, milo, kacang putih (peanut snacks) and many other yummy snacks too. We gathered togther with other families for a snack picnic while waiting for the rest.
The day ended with a tired body but at the same time another wonderful experience as every year the race details changes, so we won't know what obstacles were in store for us. It was all done in good fun regardless of winning. Winning is always a bonus that we learn to appreciate it.
Till the next fun family day out. We would love to share with everyone, more places to bring kids out to have a fun family bonding time. Your support of our blog through facebook or join our site at http://bit.ly/welovedayout is much appreciated. Thank you.
