Potential Wild Card Spot:

*If you are close to the finishing pack, within 10 seconds of the cut off time and have turned up to training sessions you MAY be able to get in to the team with a “Wild Card” (must be less than 5 spots left on the team you’re trying to enter).

Training is offered at school with Cara but is optional. It is expected that you are doing your own training at home / on your own if you wish to be successful. Ask Cara if you need help with this. 😊

Yes, you may turn up to training “for fun” or a challenge, even if you don’t want to compete at Cross Country.

Good luck!

Kind regards,
