Wednesday  16 September  2015

Meet at 4.15pm for 4.30pm start at each event, finishing at 5.15pm.

Thank you to Boris' mum, Sarah Winkler, for co-ordinating participation.  As many runners for both the boys' and girls' races can take part, but a minimum of 4 runners each week is needed to qualify for the league.  Sciennes receives 5 points for each team of 4 in each race plus a bonus point for each team of 4 they beat and points for those individuals who finish in the first ten runners. The distance varies slightly from course but is around one mile; some courses more hilly than others. Spikes can be worn for those who have them.

As many P6s as possible are needed please for the week when P7s are in Lagganlia (7 October) to keep up the minimum team points quota of 4 boys, 4 girls.  

If you know of anyone else who may be interested please contact Sarah Winkler thewinklers@btinternet.com
