Y1-2 = 1 lap approx. 500m
Y3-4 = 2 laps approx. 1000m
Y5-6 = 3 laps approx. 1500m
Order of races
First, Year 6 Girls, then Year 6 Boys, Year 5 Girls, Year 5 Boys,
Year 4 Girls, Year 4 Boys, Year 3 Girls, Year 3 Boys
Year 2 Girls, Year 2 Boys, Year 0 & 1 Girls, and finally Year 0 & 1 Boys.
Tamariki need to have suitable footwear and a change of clothes to change into afterwards. It is likely that the race course will be wet and muddy so we ask for dry, clean clothes for afterwards.
Traditionally a winter sport, please know that the Cross Country event will go ahead even if it's wet underfoot. If there is an extreme weather forecast for 7 May the postponement date of Thursday 9 May will be used instead.
If you would like to help and marshal on the track please let me know via email at rupert@amesbury.school.nz.
The top five boys and top five girls from each year group progress to either the Yr 4-6 Northern Zone Cross Country event on 14 May, or the Yr 1-3 Junior Invitational event on 23 May.
The change for this year is that the cross country is optional, with the alternative being the fun run. Cross country runners can do both events.
