All the children will be participating, and you are most welcome to come and support. There will be medals for 1st , 2nd and 3rd places in the U7s, in all the 3km runs, as well as for the first 3 teams in the U9, U11 & U13s categories. Every child taking part shall receive a certificate, and the overall House Trophy will be awarded to the winning house at the end of the event.

For inclusivity, children have been asked to run in a team of three (not the Year 1&2s) with each child selecting their preferred distance of either 1Km, 2Km or 3km. Each completed run will contribute towards the overall team and house points.
Your child should come to school in the morning wearing their PE kit and House Polo Shirt. Please ensure that they have their school caps, sun cream and a water bottle. Snacks and fruit will be provided for the children in their house tents. We will have an area for parents to watch and support. However, parents are not permitted around the course or to run with their children.
There will be an ambulance, 3 school nurses and first-aid trained teachers on the course to provide any medical assistance should it be required. We look forward to seeing you on that Monday afternoon.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Odhiambo Head of PE
