The Mall Bangkapi will take everyone into the world of toddler bike racing during "The Mall Shopping Center Presents Strider Cup Thailand 2018" at its MCC Hall, 4th floor, from Friday to Sunday starting at 10.30am.
Hailed as the largest strider competition in Thailand, the fourth edition of the fun race is open to children aged two to six. Each will ride a no-pedal balance bike and speed down the track to the finish line amid cheering crowds.
The strider competition has five separate categories for children aged two to six and an "open class" category that features a mix of Thai and foreign children. This year will see more than 400 young racers from Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Malaysia. They will compete on Saturday and Sunday, three categories on each day.
The highlight, however, is "The Best Strider Rider Of Thailand Championship 2018", which is open only to Thai children aged two to six. Applications can be made until Thursday. The race will be held on Friday at 11.30am and the winner will represent the country in the "Strider Asian Championship 2018" in Beijing, China, on April 29. Airline tickets for three will be provided.
To help strengthen family bonds, there are also three special categories -- Family Racing (featuring teams of a father, a mother and one child), Super Dad (open to fathers only) and Super Mom (open to mothers only). They will compete on Friday from 2.30-5.30pm.
Besides the competition, there will be the Strider Adventure Zone, drawing and face-painting workshops, lucky draws and shopping booths offering sports equipment for children.
The Mall Bangkapi is on Lat Phrao Road. There is no admission fee to view the competition.
