Liverpool Primary Running

Putting that together with the rest of the week, on Monday Wirral had 722 runners and Knowsley 257 while Sefton had over 600 yesterday. In total, over 2400 children have competed in Primary cross country on Merseyside in the last 3 days.

Tonight saw a record breaking second League race at Newsham Park. St Sebastian's and St Cuthbert’s both provided full staffs to marshall the event. Quite appropriate as the number of runners over the six races was a new record of 852 children.

103 children returned to Merseyside from the National Cross Country in Loughborough last Sunday as a medallist.

Huge congratulations to our superstar runner in Year 6 who was part of a victorious Y6 girls Merseyside cross country squad who finished 1st at the county championships at Loughborough!! A fantastic achievement! @PrimaryRunning

@bellaspaniel Of course we do x

@PrimaryRunning I’m so disappointed Tony I was honestly looking forward to it but did think probably waterlogged and heavy rain due again later. Guess I’ll see you next Monday then if you still need me 🤪😀 Sue H

It has just hail stoned here and the wind chill is about 1°. With 8 races, adding everything together, we have called it off. New date is Monday 20th March. Tony

The Large and Small Schools' Cross Country today is NOW OFF. I have just spent an hour walking the course and parts of Wavertree are under water. Whilst we could have redirected the course, the forecast is for 90/95% chance of rain between 3 and 5

@stmarys_CofE @Liverpool_SSP You don't need to return them. They are yours forever. We are giving glass trophies for schools to keep from this year.

The trophy cabinet will look a lot emptier from tomorrow as we return the 4 cross-country trophies we won last year including the Y6 City Champions shield. Looking forward to the champs on Tuesday to see what we can bring back @PrimaryRunning @Liverpool_SSP

Today's Liverpool Primary Schools' Cross Country League race is now OFF. New date is Monday 27th March at Wavertree. City Championships is next Tuesday 14th March at Wavertree.

No decision on tomorrow's cross country until we see what happens tomorrow. As soon as we know we will tell you.

The Liverpool Primary Schools' Cross Country League resumes tomorrow in Sefton Park (near St Hilda's). First race 4.10pm. See you there. PS It's also the closing date for confirmations for the City Championships. Is yours in?
