General information:

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.  The route is clearly marked and very easy to follow. We are looking for runners in all categories.  Last year, we had over 35 different runners from our school.

School will pay for the teams 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. Children will be given a GMJS t-shirt for the race so we can look out for them during the event.

The cross country events are great fun and we want to put a big emphasis on co-operation and teamwork.

If your child would like to take part in the first race, 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. We will send reminders for each race.

End of Season 2024/25

It was a delight for me to give out lots of awards at the end of the cross-country season.

The Year 3/4 girls and boys teams were both able to come 2nd overall in the team standings. This was a fantastic achievement and something they have worked very hard to achieve. Well done on getting two team trophies!

We hope to have more Year 5/6 children down so that their teams can be just as successful. Well done to the children who are already on the teams for doing so well.

We had some individual awards too with Joel finishing in joint 2nd and Flo finishing in join 3rd. Both of them have received an individual trophy from the league. Elin (4th) Lucas(8th) and Flynn(9th) have received certificates for finishing in the top 10 in the overall standings.

By far the best thing about the whole season was seeing the children from Great Moor Junior School supporting one another. For anyone running, the last bit of the race can be quite hard work, but to see a familiar face or hear your name being shouted really does give you a boost.

Fantastic team spirit and co-operation which is one of our school values.
