Children from Papa’s Pad – P³ Zone are spread across different schools, and the Iron Kids event has become a rare “family reunion” for them. From the anticipation before departure to cheering each other on at the race, the children learn and grow through challenge, finding a sense of belonging in every drop of sweat.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every teacher, volunteer, and partner whose dedication made the event a success. Because of each other, Iron Kids is more than a race—it is a journey where love and growth come together.

A Big, Joyful Gathering for Little Iron Kids

Children from different Papa’s Pad – P³ Zone Centers are usually spread across various schools, making it rare for them to gather all in one place. The Iron Kids Self-Challenge Race has become their cherished moment to step outside their campuses and come together—almost like a grand family reunion.

From the anticipation before departure to the excitement upon arrival, the children burst with questions like, “Is the bus here yet? Will we be late?” Their eagerness was truly heartwarming.

As the buses pulled in one after another, the children lined up and disembarked in an orderly fashion. The front of the stage quickly turned lively and festive. Although many of them had never met before, the matching Iron Kids T-shirts helped them connect instantly. Laughter, cheers, and encouraging shouts echoed throughout the venue—creating a shared energy of challenging together, growing together that filled the entire event.

Whether it was the children striving to complete every event, the teachers accompanying them with quiet dedication, or our Foundation team and school partners, whose hard work made this event possible—every effort helped bring the Iron Kids event to fulfillment. With one another’s support, the Iron Kids Race becomes whole. This shared accomplishment fills us with joy and makes us look forward to the next gathering even more.
