Preparation Before Event

An extra set of changing clothes can be prepared for children participating in the event.
Wet towels, water, and biscuits are advised to bring for replenishing your children’s energy.
It is ideal to take your kids to practice comfortably for 20 to 30 minutes each day if time allows leading up to the event. Use sprint running, chasing running, and then progress to intermittent fast running and slow running to complete the specified mileage. Do not put too much pressure on the children.
Warm-up exercises and drinking water are important for the children before the event. The water temperature should not be overly cold or hot to avoid affecting gastrointestinal absorption or making it difficult to drink.
After the game, let the children rest to regain their strength, drink some water and bananas, and change into dry clothes. It is advisable to rest up early the night after returning home.
Participants are advised to enquire the Hong Kong Observatory (Tel: 1878200) about the weather conditions on the morning of the event day.
