Cross-Country
General information:
Running is great fun as well as good for your health and our school is full of fantastic runners. Last year a many of our pupils entered the Stockport Schools Cross Country events and did very well. Races are held at Woodbank Park on Saturday mornings (dates and times below) and there are 2 races for boys and 2 for girls depending on age. We would like to enter Great Moor Juniors into the Schools Cross Country running competition which is organised by Stockport Harriers. The route is clearly marked. Previously there have been around 80 runners in each category from all different schools. We are looking for runners in all categories. Last year, we had over 30 different runners from our school.
School will pay for the team so there is no individual charge and children are awarded certificates in our Friday assembly. There will be staff at each race so that you know where to go. Miss Seeds will be at the first race and she will be stood just inside the gate at the athletics track. Children will be given a GMJS t-shirt so we can see them in the race.
The cross country events are great fun and we want to put a big emphasis on co-operation and teamwork.
This page will be updated after each event.
If your child would like to take part, it would be great if you could email Mr Garnett beforehand so we can have a list ready for the day so staff can look out for them.

Last season results:
The top 3 individual results from our school from our four best races contribute to our team score.
Year 3/4 girls: 3rd overall
Year 3/4 boys: 1st overall
Year 5/6 girls: 7th overall
Year 5/6 boys: 8th overall
These are the best team results we have ever had. Well done to everyone who took part for this incredible team success. We had some individual success too with 4 children coming in the top 10 overall. Well done to Flo (2nd), Rory (2nd), Flynn(5th) and Joel (9th).
The season as a whole was brilliant. We had 37 different children represent our school over the 6 races. The way in which the children supported each other was fantastic. All of the children should be very proud of themselves.
