Frequently Asked Questions
My child's 'club' is showing wrong online?
If your child's profile, shown on the events entry list shows a club and NOT a school / County etc, this is due to the club name still being set in the profile.
You can change if required - Please follow instructions in FAQ - Change Club / School / County.
If you have recently changed this in your child's profile please consider two options:
1. This takes 24 hours for servers to make changes, (sometimes longer at a weekend)
2. The event page may also need a refresh.

I've only received one email about the event?
If you've registered more than one child for the event using the same email address, our email software sees this as a duplicate and ignores it.
Therefore the software picks up the name of the child that it first sees.
Generally, if this is the case, the information within that email applies to everybody WITHIN the event. We will try as far as practicable to generalise the information.
This is particularly important for those schools and clubs that register several children under one email
Can we bring the dog?
Yes.
Please be a responsible dog owner.

Spikes - General
Footwear Rules by Year Group
Year 3 and Year 4 events: Running spikes are NOT permitted. Pupils must wear trainers, trail shoes, or astroturf footwear only.
Year 5, Year 6 and Year 7 events: Running spikes are optional. Pupils may wear spikes if they wish, but they are not compulsory. Trainers with suitable grip are also acceptable. Where spikes are worn (Years 5–7 only), they must be appropriate for cross country running.
This means: Endurance or cross‑country spikes only Track spikes are not permitted Spike length must be no longer than 9mm
Please note that these footwear rules will be strictly enforced and there will be no exceptions on the day.
Ground Conditions and Event Contingency
In the unlikely event that ground conditions are deemed unsuitable — for example if the ground is solid, frozen, or unsafe — we reserve the right to withdraw the use of spikes, even for the older year groups, on the day of the event. If the field we are using becomes unsafe, the event will not be cancelled. Instead, the venue we have chosen allows us to utilise a closed road network, enabling the event to go ahead safely on an alternative surface.
For this reason, we ask that parents and pupils are prepared for both eventualities: A grass / off‑road course where endurance spikes may be permitted (Years 5–7 only), or A firmer alternative route where spikes will not be allowed and trainers, trail shoes, or astroturf footwear must be worn.
All decisions will be made on the day with pupil safety as our highest priority.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
