Spectators are welcome. We have some grandstands in the spectator area but bringing a chair is recommended to guarantee a seat. The finishing line has changed positions slightly, so that students starting a race do not cross paths with those finishing.
The times are approximate and we endeavour not to start races early to avoid disappointments for those children/adults who like a parent watching.
Students will be familiarised with the course. The schedule for events is below.
