Teams
Runners must be in full time secondary education on the date of the race and should be in Year 10 or above, unless you are certain they can complete the course safely and in good time.
For boys, the first six runners in each team of eight will score. For girls, the first four runners in each team of six will score.
The course
The start is a short distance down the valley to the right of the entrance to Knole Park. The course is a mixture of hill and flat, grass and woodland tracks; some sections are likely to be muddy. Spikes/studs will usually be the most appropriate footwear although pupils should bring trainers as well so as to select the most appropriate footwear on the day.
The girls’ course is one lap of 5km (3.1 miles). The boys’ course is two laps totalling 9.4km (5.8 miles).
Girls’ teams should assemble near the start at 2.20pm for their race to start at 2.30pm. Boys’ teams should assemble near the start immediately after the girls’ start (2.30pm) in order for their race to start at 2:40pm. A warning siren will sound five minutes before each race starts.
Vest numbers contain a chip, so runners must run over the mats at the start and finish to ensure their chip is recorded. The course will be marked by staff, pupils, flags and tape.
Tea and RESULTS
Tea will be served from 3:30pm on The Flat in the middle of the school.
The presentation of trophies and medals will be made by the Headmaster at tea at approximately 4.20 pm: the Knole Trophy; the McGregor Trophy (for the first school not in the first three from a county other than Kent); medals for the first three individuals; medals for all members of the first three teams. Proceedings will be over by 4.30 pm.
