Could schools please fill out the sheet following regarding numbers in each year group to help us
get a better indication of how many will be in each race. The races can then be organised more
effectively. Please email or fax this sheet back to us. Schools also need to nominate and name
the two people who will be helping out on the day as marshals. Please see your schools area
of Responsibility for marshalling on the attached map.

We will be selling food and drink throughout the day. We will be holding a sausage sizzle available
at both the junior and senior cross country races. It will start up shortly after the first race has
finished and will run for the duration of other races. The cost of all food items will be $1. Other
items for sale will include lamingtons, cookies, chippies and popcorn. We are also inviting a coffee
cart vendor to be on-site so that parents may be able to purchase decent coffee! We hope this
makes the day more pleasant for our spectators!

(Note: Water will also be provided for children as they finish their races, however please encour-
age your children to bring their own!)

The event may be held in inclement weather so please feel free to bring Gazebos etc! If the
weather is harsh we will cancel and let you know A.S.A.P! If you have doubts please phone me at
school after 7:30a.m on the morning!

There will be a short prize-giving ceremony following the conclusion of the last race each group i.e
Seniors / Juniors. Medals (Gold. Silver and Bronze) will be awarded to the first three place-
getters in each race.

Many Thanks

Notes
• Students are advised to wear shoes.
• Please ensure that the pupils have clearly identified on their tops: (e.g with sticky labels)
School, name and year. This helps the recording process a lot!!
• Marshals will direct cars to parking areas. Children and parents should then walk through the
paddock towards Awahou School and sit down in your designated school area!
• Teachers are to assist runners to warm up and perform stretching exercises prior to their
race.
• Marshals will be strategically placed around the course.
• Remember you will need teachers for crowd control and at least 2 parents for marshals. We
will not start any races until the course is sufficiently marshaled for safety reasons. Can mar-
shals please report to Mark McCallum on arrival.
• First aid will be available on-site although we do expect each school to have their own first
aid resources.
• Toilets will be accessible via stile access to the school grounds. All children are to remain in
the start & finish paddock unless going to and from the toilet area.
• The teachers in charge of each school group are responsible for crowd control of their chil-
dren on the day.
• For the Junior Cross Country we will use Senior Students as “rabbits”.
• Names of the first 10 children home in each race will be recorded. Again this year we will be
recording times so we can recognise and award top runners in future years.
• At the conclusion of races children will receive a drink of water.
• Please make sure children have warm clothes to put on afterwards.
• Schools are advised to bring something to sit on as you will be in a
paddock! Even better a gazebo that shows off your school!
• All children will receive either 1st, 2nd, 3rd place or participation certificates. These will
passed on to each school.
