Tomorrow is POSB race 


The unique thing about this race is that kids as young as 5-year-old will be running 800m and kids as old as 12 years old will be running the 1200m. The race I find is appropriate for their age.

The adult race has men open and women open and the prize for first is $400. Ashley Liew will be running in the race. 

The race will be held near Big Splash. 

My suggestion is to go for the race early. Parents should be extra alert on the child finishing so that no child gets lost there. 


I will be seeing the POSB race and writing a report on this. I just hope that the race distance is correct.
