Year 5 girls and boys and Year 6 girls and boys registration will take place at 10am. Please ensure the registration times are adhered to so that participants do not miss their race. In total there will be 8 races. As it is a Saturday morning event we appreciate that you may not be able to stay until the end and so after your child’s finishing position has been recorded you are free to leave.

The criteria for progression to the L3 North Yorkshire School Games is decided on individual placings. This year the top 15 runners from each race will have their names recorded with the top 8 qualifying to compete at the Level 3 North Yorkshire School Games Cross Country Event which is usually held in March.
