Cross Country

ACG Cross Country

This is an important annual event on the sporting calendar, providing an opportunity for students to participate and support their peers whilst embracing school spirit.

All students are expected to participate unless they have a medical exception. We also welcome families to attend and support. 

Qualification for next-stage events as listed under Key Dates will be based on times achieved at the ACG Cross Country event.

What to wear:

Students must change into PE gear AND wear sports shoes.

Once changed, students should assemble promptly outside the changing rooms on the field side of the gymnasium.

The first session will be a time trial to determine each students' running ability so Mrs Blush can then place students into training groups.

Following this students will then have regular sessions which will include:

• Warm-up/strengthening/stretches
• Running technique
• Training (hill repeats, tempo runs, intervals, time trials to check on progress)
