2018 RESULTS

INTERSCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY TUESDAY 11TH SEPTEMBER 2018

Welcome to all runners and their families and teachers. We hope you enjoy your day here with us in Ongarue.

Racing age is age on the day 11th September 2018

Please note that this year girls run the same distances as boys.

Please be familiar with the list of hazards displayed on the gate into the paddock.

Can teachers please familiarize runners with the course; this might mean walking them around before 10.15am.

The course is well marked and again this year there are hurdles and drain jumps. The hurdles must be jumped over; you can use your hands on top if you wish.

Teachers are responsible for getting runners to their starts on time, can all runners in each group move to their start and then wait as each year group starts their individual race. eg all junior boys be at START A together as the last of the Midgets are finishing.

Can all marshals meet at the recorders tent at 10am for a talk about their role and to be allocated a position?

All marshals need a high visibility vest. We have some to lend.

Runners can run in bare feet or shoes.

We will run 12 and 13 year olds as one age group.

Girls run before boys.

The first 10 runners’ home will have their names places recorded.

Please place all rubbish in the bins provided.

Toilets are at the school at the back of the swimming pool.

There is a drinking fountain in the bottom veranda area.

Please keep off our school vegetable gardening area.

There is a First Aid Kit in the recorders tent.

NO runner is to go down the river bank, the river is unfenced and is running very high and the banks are very slippery. There will be marshals along the river to watch that all runners are safe.

There is no prize giving, results will be posted by the end of the term.

ONGARUE SCHOOL WILL BE RUNNING A BBQ FUNDRAISER ON THE SCHOOL GROUNDS ON THE DAY.
