“200 m” and “400 m” distance change
When registering the little runner for the “200m” or “400m” distances, parents should choose the track that the young aspirant will most likely run. On the day of the run, you will be able to think and go for the distance that your heart desires, for example, if you have registered for the 200m distance, but you have enough energy for the 400m distance, then you can run it. Correspondingly, the other way around as well. If the child can run both distances, it should be noted that there will be only one medal.
There is no need to change the distance in the registration system.
Can parents join children on the course?
Parents are allowed to join their children on the course, no registration is required.
