     2008 NORTHSIDE SCHOOLS CROSS COUNTRY & FUN RUN PROGRAM
                  McDermott Place, Lake Ginninderra
    
North Canberra-Gungahlin Athletics club has been conducting the events on the shores of Lake Ginninderra 
for over 20 years now, and it offers a great opportunity for young athletes to have a bit of fun, maintain their 
fitness over winter, and compete for points for their school.  And it doesn't use up too much of Mum and 
Dad's valuable time.

The 2008 Northside Schools Cross-country season will commence on 3 May, and continue through until 16 August. 
This year's information sheet, which contains a registration form and a calendar for the season is available here as a pdf file.

Race distances vary each week and according to age:
        U7s: 800m or 1k
        U9s: 800m, 1k or 1.5k

        U13s: 2k or 3k

Each Saturday an 'early birds' race is  held at 8:45am for those athletes who have to rush off to other commitments, 
then the agegroup races are conducted between 9am and 9:30am.  

Other features of our competition are:
*  encouragement awards each run when time improves

A season registration costs only $15 per athlete or $30 for a family, with a fee of $5 for those wanting 
to give it a go for the day.

So come down to McDermott Place at Lake Ginninderra on Saturday 3 May from 8:30 onwards to register and 
compete in a fun run at 9am.  Registrations are also taken each day during the season.
