Whatever the weather, the Cross Country event is always fun! Long distance running has never seen such a large turn-out of children from competitive to fun runners that appear at the event. Split up into three categories, children compete over three weeks for individual and team placings.

Details of Event

  

We ask all schools taking part to provide at least one person as team manager, and also a marshal who will have a pre-arranged marshalling point along the route. Winston Churchill students may be able to help us with the marshalling but it is still useful to have extra people so it would help if each school could identify a marshal in case they are needed each week. It is advisable to make sure that a member of staff is always with the team, particularly as Goldsworth Park is a public open space, but parent volunteers can be very useful marshals. Marshals will be told if they are needed at the beginning of each race. Marshals are asked to collect a fluorescent WASPs bib from the organisers at the beginning of each event and to return it at the end of the day's races.

  

Rules

Marshals

Marshals should keep the pathway clear of obstructions and make sure children are going the right way. Please keep an eye open for stragglers at the end who may be injured, lost and upset at coming in at the end!

  

Behaviour

It is each school's responsibility to ensure the behaviour of their children and spectators. Please be vigilant and ensure that no one obstructs the runners at any point, especially at the end when they may be waiting for their number.

  

Spectators

Spectators are asked to remain on the footpath and grassed area behind it on the Goldwater Lodge side of the Start. They should not cross the path onto the start and finish area.

  

First Aid

Each school is asked to take responsibility for first aid for their pupils which may arise from the event, including minor cuts and grazes, breathing difficulties, administering medicines (i.e. inhalers), etc. Please note there are no toilets at this venue.

 

Goldsworth Park

The area is a public open space, and Woking Borough Council gives us permission to use it for our cross country events each year. Please help by keeping a close eye on your children at all times - don't let them wander off or try running around the course when they are not taking part. Take all your litter home and remind children to collect belongings.
