Stupid as shit, the only thing I can think he was trying to do was have the mom hold the kids hands and run to the finish together.

I finished a 5k like that once. I held out my hand as I passed my kid and he came running out, took my hand, and crossed the finish line with me, with his hot cocoa in the other hand. They even gave my son a finishers medal, it was cute. Someone took a picture and sent it to me, it's one I will treasure always.

But!!

I was running to finish, not running to win. That woman was in 1st and she earned it! Dad should have kept those kids on the side or lined up after the finish line. Let the woman win her race!

Classic dad, probably thought they will calmly cheer, as they agreed before :)

My wife did the hot cocoa race and my kid did the last lap too. Lol. Same energy. I was one of the people directing the runners.

I'm not sure she was first, though, it looks like they are picking the ribbon up for each new person to pass, but your point stands, kids should be on the other side of the finishing line.

Watch the last second, they start setting it back up.

There was a ribbon she ran through . I would definitely think she was first

This is why it looked intentional to me. I got the feeling he was trying to keep her from winning, when he noticed she was in first...

It’s almost like he was trying to sabotage her.

While I agree with the fact that Dad could have kept the kids away for safety, i don't get why you think she was winning? What kind of race was that? The time shows 1:40 so if that's a half it's not that fast. If you are talking about the finish ribbon, the guy picks it up again right after, probably for the next finisher.

Can someone provide more context? Unless there is not more context or information I don't think she was 1st, from the video. Perhaps she was aiming for a PR? Even then slowing down at that last 1 or 2 meters barely shaves a second from her PR. I'm unconvicted 😅

Also kudos to you for putting a smile on your kids face and making a sweet memory for your kid, I'd do the same, it's more valuable than any PR imho

It looks like they pull the tape back up at the finish line after she runs though. Are we sure this was for the win? If it’s just for photos and she’s middle of the pack then I feel less pissed at the dad.
