In preparation for the Cross Country, parents can help by:

• Encouraging your child to run and exercise regularly
• On the day, give your child a larger than usual breakfast and something 'extra' in their lunch box
• check that your child has a named drink bottle
• name all clothing and make sure layers are easy to put on and take off
• check that you child has clothing and footwear suitable for running and pack a spare pair of shoes to wear in the afternoon.
