Rules and Organisation
- Races begin at 4.15pm and are completed with a presentation by approx 5.20pm. Except in exceptional circumstances, no race will be cancelled in advance and a final decision will be made at 4.15pm on the course. A information talk for all competitors will take place at 4.05pm.
- Races are over two laps, in total, about 1200m on grass and path.
- No spikes or boots are to be worn.
- Each race meeting is an individual entity and a school may enter as many or as few races as they choose.
- There are six races at each meeting - Y4 girls, Y4 boys, Y5 girls, Y5 boys, Y6 girls, Y6 boys. There is no limit on numbers of pupils a school wishes to bring along.
- At the meeting each school will receive a results recording pack. There are two small results cards where you indicate your fastest 4 boys and fastest 4 girls positions overall. These are used to work out the winning teams. Please return these when asked for.
- Medals will be awarded to the first three individuals of each race. Medals will be awarded to the first six teams. No child shall win two medals at a meeting. If a child is in the first three and is a member of a winning team, then the team medal shall be passes down to another member of the team. Any child finishing in the positions four to ten who is not receiving a team medal will receive an individual medal.
- Scoring – At the end of a meeting your four best scores on your team cards will give your teams scores (boys team separate from the girls team).
