The boys will start their race. The girls will line up immediately after and as the boys begin to leave the oval the girls will start. As one age group begins racing the next age groups begins warming up.
These times are approximate. The day may run earlier or later than expected. Parents are welcome to attend but I urge you to arrive early to watch your child’s race, rather than risk missing it.
Students age 9-12yrs will be offered the choice to either run the full 2-3km distance asked of their age or a single lap 1km Fun Run. The 2-3km distance will be timed, ribbons awarded and times may lead to attendance at the District Cross Country for 10-12yrs. The Fun Run will not be timed, there will be no ribbons but all runners will earn points for their house for participating and giving it a go.

I will need parent helpers on the day to supervise a section of the course. I will rotate you around so that you do not miss any of the action. Please email me on cxmar5@eq.edu.au if you are willing to help.
