Tread carefully By Kelly Crane, Staff Reporter More than 12,000 children from Dubai hope to become record breakers this week. The youngsters attempted to beat the world record for the longest line of footprints as part of the DSF Record Breaking Festival. The current record stands at 11,710 footprints, which covers a distance of approximately 3.4km. For this meticulously planned assignment, children of all ages from across the city printed their footprint on an A4-sized piece of paper and delivered them to Safa Park for the attempt to begin. People followed the judges as the footprints were laid throughout the park and the distance measured. Michael Bradley, aged 10, said he couldn't wait to find out whether he would become a record-breaker. "I can't wait to tell everyone if we managed to break the record. I had lots of fun printing my footprint. I did it in paint and it felt funny when it squelched in between my toes.”
