Paul Allison, English Schools Cross Country Secretary has today announced plans for the English Schools Virtual Cross Country Championship. Full details can be found in the attached document and the link to enter is below.
Runs are to take place during a two week window, Monday 15th March to Sunday 28th March, ensuring you adhere to the governments guidelines with regards travel and outside exercise. Times will have to be verified by a coach or teacher as part of the entry system.
