For
Pupils, with families welcome to cheer

The cross-country is about taking part, not winning, though a few Year 10s take it very seriously.

The courses

  • Years 1 and 2: 800 metres, round the edge of the wood
  • Years 3 to 6: 2 kilometres, through the wood and back
  • Years 7 to 12: 5 kilometres, including the lake path

For families

The best places to watch are the fire circle and the jetty. Hot chocolate is served on the lawn from 11:00. The course is muddy by design, so send spare shoes.
