On Friday, 2nd May, you are warmly invited to watch your child/children participate in the Merrin School Cross Country event at Burnside Park.

One of the purposes of this event is to give our students and staff another opportunity to showcase our school values. The second is to find our top runners across the school, as those children will have the chance to compete at another event later in the term.

This event will run from 10 am to approximately 1.30 pm. The children and staff will walk down to Burnside Park just before their race. The times for the races below are only estimates and will depend on the timing of the previous races.

The postponement date will be on Monday, 5th May, but we will only use this for extreme weather.

Race Information:

TIME	YEAR GROUP	DISTANCE
10am	Year 8	3km
10:15am	Year 7	3Km
11:30am	Year 1	500m
11:45am	Year 2	500m
12pm	Year 3	1km
12:15pm	Year 4	1.5km
12:15pm	Year 5	2km
12:30pm	Year 6	2km

Children need to come to school in their school P.E gear. Spikes are not permitted for our school event; we expect all children to wear sneakers when running.

If you are available to help on the day with marshalling, please contact Brodie Ridler on sport@merrin.school.nz
