This exciting annual event will take place on Tuesday 21 June at 1:30pm. (In the case of inclement weather, the postponement date is Tuesday 27 June) Regards the Junior Team.
 * The junior classes have been training for this since the end of swimming, with more focussed training in weeks 5-8. They will have walked through the course and know where to run.
 * The children will be grouped according to their age on the day of the race, boys and girls running separately. All children participating will earn ‘House ‘points and children getting 1st, 2nd and 3rd places will earn extra points.
 * The course will be clearly marked with cones and roped sections, and teachers will be assigned certain points/duties to ensure safety of runners.
 * Parents/spectators are asked to please stay well clear of the running course so children running aren’t confused about where to run! We would like as many parents as possible near the finish line to cheer on the runners at the end of their races.
 * Before and after each race, the children will be seated separately from spectators. This is for logistical and safety reasons – teachers need to know where all children are at all times.
 * Children will be required to bring a named drink bottle of water, and a warm top. Children can change out of uniform (at lunchtime), and wear running clothes and shoes. Sneakers are the best option as ordinary school shoes do not provide sufficient traction – especially on wet grass.
 * Children can go home with parents at the conclusion of the afternoon’s events if they have been checked out with their child’s class teacher.
