Final Cross Country Details - 10th October 2015

Please click this link to access the final details for the Cross Country event on Saturday 10th October 2015.

As you know, your child is one of over 260 Upton runners entered in the first Thanet Primary Schools Cross-Country held at Quex Park, Park Lane, Birchington, Kent CT7 0BH this Saturday 10th October.

The times of each race are below – runners should aim to arrive at least 20 mins before their race to ensure they are ready in good time. Please be aware that there will be slow moving traffic around parking areas which may delay you. All runners need to be accompanied by a parent/carer as the school cannot be responsible for children on a Saturday and it will be extremely busy. Children should not forget their asthma inhalers or any other medication they may require. Adults or siblings should not run around the outside of the course with the children as this can be off-putting to other runners. Spiked shoes are not permitted.

The races rarely take over 10 mins. Children run only against their own year group and in same gender races – Year 3 girls first, then Year 3 boys, Year 4 girls, Year 4 boys etc, competing against the other schools. All runners who finish the race receive a medal

A letter containing these details will be sent home today (Tues 6th Oct) and your child will also have been given a running number which needs to be pinned to the front of the top they will be running in with four pins. All runners are pre-registered. They do not need to do anything when they arrive other than run in their race when it is called. There is an Upton sign on the field where our runners generally congregate. Children can run in whatever clothes they are comfortable in.
