Getting started

The zigzag track, the first obstacle that the "kid" athletes must pass through

Next, they had to pass through a pool with plastic balls, which made them easily slip and fall

After the two obstacles on Doan Thi Diem Street, the athletes continued to conquer the third obstacle, passing through the A-shaped buoy...

The joy of a "kid" athlete when conquering the last obstacle

Depending on their conditions, genders, and ages, some children struggled hard to complete the distance of one kilometer

However, some of them were quite comfortable when reaching the finish line with cheerful faces. The important thing was that all of the kids were safe and able to complete the challenges

Oc Thanh Van's family joined the track with "full" smiles

The moment of victory

In addition to the medals, ten athletes in ten groups who finished first were awarded laurel wreaths

However, whether they were the first or the last to reach the finish line, they were still awarded medals, the medals of determination and effort to overcome their own limits
