Cross Country Training Opportunity
Cross Country
The senior cross country carnival will be held on Tuesday 25th March with a backup date of Tuesday 1st April. All Year 3-6 students will be running laps of a 1km course. The expected distances and program is as follows:
8:50: Students go to class for roll marking.
9:00: Yr 3-6 arrive on oval.
9:20: 3Km Boys & Girls 12yrs DOB 2012
3Km Boys & Girls 11yrs DOB 2013
2Km Boys & Girls: 10yrs DOB 2014
2Km Boys & Girls: 9yrs DOB 2015
1Km Boys & Girls: 8yrs DOB 2016
FunRun. 1Km Boys & Girls: 8-12yrs
11:00 or as close as possible: Carnival finishes and students move to lunch
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 to finish the race the next age groups warms up.
All students will be offered the choice to either run the full 1-3km 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. Students may also choose to run in both races if they wish.
On The Day
Family members and friends are welcome to come and cheer on their child/ren during their races.
Students need to come to school prepared with:
- house shirt and shorts
- appropriate footwear
- sunscreen
- school sun safe hat (students do not have to run in their hats but they must wear them when not racing)
- plenty of water.
If your child is asthmatic please remind them to take their preventer before marshalling for their race. They will be pushing themselves harder than at any other time.
Helpers
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.
