Cheltenham Half Marathon Preparation

Pupils are busily preparing for the Cheltenham Half Marathon at the moment. 91 pupils are taking part in the challenge this Sunday at the Cheltenham Racecourse. Every child in the school is taking part in the Schools' Challenge by running 12.1 miles. Every day the pupils are running a mile with their classmates to get ready for the final mile on Sunday.

It was great to have a visit from Chris from the Cheltenham Trust to start off the challenge. After his Collective Worship he put Years 5 and 6 through their paces out on the field.

All the best to all the runners and a big thank you to our parent volunteers for running with the pupils on Sunday morning.

Year 6 pupils measured out the one mile course for us. Pupils need to walk or run 4.5 times around the circuit for their mile a day.
