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.
If your child is interested in doing some extra training for the Cross Country, this is the permission form for them to join in afterschool.
