Cross-Country

A huge well done to everyone who took part this year. The running was brilliant but what was more impressive was the support you gave each other. While you were waiting for your race, I could hear so much cheering and support for the Great Moor runners. There really was a team spirit atmosphere!

The season has come to a conclusion. Look below for the different race results. 

The information for next season will come out before the summer. The first race will most likely be in September of the next school year. 

Race 6: 

What an amazing final race of the season! I was so impressed with the effort that all of the children put in. 

19 runners took part in the final race with 17 of them achieving their personal best times! It was one of, if not the best set of race results we have had. 

Year 3/4 girls race: all four children in the top 20 and one in the top 10!

Year 3/4 boys race: two children in the top 20, eight children with a time below 8 minutes!

Year 5/6 girls race: both children below 15 minutes with their time!

Year 5/6 boys race: three children in the top 20, one top 10 finish, all four children with a time below 13 minutes!

Team results for the season:

Year 3/4 girls: 4th overall (and an individual top 10 finish!)

Year 3/4 boys: 7th overall

Year 5/6 girls: We didn't quite have enough girls at every race to have enough scores down for the team element. 

Year 5/6 boys: 3rd overall

Race 4: 

We had 24 runners across the 4 races with 15 personal best times which is amazing! We had a top 10 finisher in the Year 3/4 girls race. 

Well done to everyone who took part. There are 2 more races left.

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. 

If your child may be interested, please email Mr Garnett for any further details.  joe.garnett@greatmoor-jun.stockport.sch.uk

School will pay for the team so there is no individual charge and children are awarded certificates. 

The first 10 chilldren in each race will get a Certificate of Achievement on the day.

At the end of the season, all children who race in 5 or 6 races will recieve Endeavour Medals. The top 3 children and teams recieve an award. The top 10 children overall will recieve a certificate. 

The cross country events are great fun and we want to put a big emphasis on co-operation and teamwork. There is a parent WhatsApp group that you are welcome to join. Just ask at any of the events.

If your child would like to take part in any of the races, it would be great if you could email Mr Garnett beforehand so he can have a list ready for the day so staff can look out for them.

The events start and finish at the Woodbank Park Athletics Stadium. The best Post Code for car park access SK1 4BN. It does get busy on the day.
