Grades:
Pre school: 1 km

Primary: Boys race and girls race – 2 km competitive
Non competitive 1 km

Intermediate: Boys race and girls race 2.5 km

College: Boys race and girls race 3 km

All runners will be scored points but the first four finishers in from each school will count as the team score on the day. The primary school scores will be taken from the competitive 2 km race.

Trophies will be awarded to the top school in each grade at the end of the four races.

Registration:

Pre-registration is preferred due to the sheer number of children but children can sign-in on the day from 2 pm.

Details needed are:

name

school

school year (NOT age)

A race number will be sent by return email. The number must be written on the back of the left hand with marker pen so it is visible to recorders at the end of the race.

Registration only needs to occur once as each runner uses their unique number for the whole series. Pre-registered runners do not need to sign in on the day.

Runners participate at their own risk.

$1 entry fee per family per race (to assist the inter-regional cross country team with away travel). To be paid on the day. Requested but not compulsory.
