The 2023 Coatesville School Cross Country will be held in the neighbouring Coatesville Reserve on Thursday 1st June - 1:30pm start. This event involves the whole school with all children running in their age group as at the day of the event. The top six runners aged 8 years and over will progress to the Interschool event (also at the Reserve). The afternoon starts with the 10+ year old girls race at 1:30pm and finishes with the 5 year old boys. Each race will start once the runners from the previous race have cleared the course. Please see below for the course distances for each age group. All courses will be clearly marked and the children will have the opportunity to walk the course with their teacher before the event.
Children are required to wear clothing suitable for long distance running and a sturdy pair of running shoes. As the course is often wet and muddy, it is highly recommended that they bring a change of clothes as well as a raincoat and a drink bottle.
