Primary Schools' Cross Country
Dates & Venue The first is in October, just a few weeks after children move up to their new year groups. For many, this is their first taste of a big race The second event is halfway through the school year, a couple of weeks after the February half-term holiday. Dates for the 2023-24 Academic Year are: Dates for the 2024-25 Academic Year are: Age Groups Year 3 Entry Fee As the cost of everything involved in organising the event has risen still further, we unfortunately have to charge £4.00 per child this year to simply cover our costs. If you enjoy the event (and we're sure you will), please consider throwing a contribution into our donations bucket as you leave the field. This is entirely voluntary, but even £1 or £2 would go a long way towards helping the cross country to continue successfully in the future. How to Enter Entry forms were sent to all eligible schools on 1st February 2024, so children should be bringing them home very soon. If your child doesn't receive one (or does, but mislays it), you can download an entry form from the link below. Please return the form to your child's school as soon as possible. Each school sets its own internal deadline to receive its pupil's forms. They then collate their entries and send them on to us. Home Educators Children who are educated away from school often have fewer opportunities than others to participate in sporting activities, so we are more than happy for them to participate in any of ours. Home educators who live within the Thanet school district are welcome to enter their children in the races corresponding to their dates of birth. |
