Wed 24th March 2010 - Risdon Brook- Southern Schools Championship
There are the same courses on offer as previous weeks. However, for students to be official they must run their allocated class (or higher). The championship classes are as follows:

For example, a student in grade 8 may run the medium or long course, but would be unofficial if they ran the short course.

The ‘groups’ class include any students running in pairs or more, any age or gender combination.

For any student who would like to be official, but is nervous about running a higher course than they have been in the series; the organisers admit that some of the courses have been on the hard side of their designated difficulty level (the Long has been especially tough at times), the courses for this event have been set over a very small area and will be on the easier side of their designation.  We encourage all students to ‘step up’ if they are unsure.

Wed 24th March 2010 - Trevallyn Reserve - Northern Schools Championship
Entries close Friday March 19th.  Please view or download the information sheet and entry form for more information
