NAE Global Sports Competition - 5km Virtual Event

We are back! The next event is a 5km Virtual Race, as part of the NAE Global Sports Competition. This event starts this Saturday, 17th October and finishes on Monday, 26^th October.

The 2km participants were absolutely incredible and we want our team to get bigger and bigger!

What do we need to do?

Students and their families are invited to run, walk, skip, or jog 5km, record their time, and take a photograph of themselves, or even better, the whole family completing the distance!

For each competitor we record, the school gains a point, and the school with the most points wins a prize. The highest-ranking individual competitors will win individual medals.

What ages can compete?

There are different age categories to compete in, starting from 5 years of age. Please make sure students complete the run with an adult.

We are also continuing with our additional ‘adult’ category, allowing staff and parents to get involved!

When do we need to record the time by?

All entries must be completed by Monday, 26^th October 2020.

I am not very fast; can I take part?

YES! This is all about our community coming together. Win, lose or draw it is the taking part that counts and we are so excited to be back together. Please get involved! Please share your photographs with us! Be ambitious. We are better together!

But Mr. Baker, its half term!

I know, and students deserve a huge rest because of the amazing effort they have all put into the school term so far... but after the 5km!

It would be great for students to get physically active and to stay away from those computer screens for as long as possible during this break.

We did it! Where do we record the time?
