Shropshire Schools Half Marathon

First of all, we are thrilled that 111 of you have entered this fantastic event!

Our resources for tracking our miles have been delivered and will be sent home today.

You will receive:
> A shoe to colour in once you have completed each mile. This will be used as your personal tracking tool. Please keep it safe and send it in to school so that we can tick off your miles on our mile tracker chart.


> A wristband when you reach the 6 mile point.

In each class we will have:
> A mile tracker chart (picture 2). Every class will have one of these and you will be able to tick off your miles on our mile tracker so that the amount of miles coloured in on your shoe matches the amount on our tracker.

Completing the miles:
The challenge is for every child to have ran 12 miles before running their final 1.1 mile at West Mids Showground on Saturday April 22nd. These can be done in distances of your choice. If you want to track the exact distance you have done, Strava is a brilliant app & there are many others available.
There may be the opportunity for children to complete some miles in school, however please do not rely solely on this as we have got the Easter Holidays coming up.

All shoes are in classes and ready to be sent home today. Mile charts will also be in classes from today and ready to update from Monday onwards.

Happy running!
