The circuit for the cross country is around Putikitiki, up past Totara classes and middle playground, up the hill past the swimming pool and past Pippa's office and the bike rack, along Dawson road on the footpath, down Grey Street footpath and back onto Putikitiki. The distance of one circuit of this course is approximately 769m according to google maps so we need to run this 3 times to get to the 2000m mark which is the distance you run at inter-school cross country.

- Kinesthetic learners LOVE running and moving and running some more!
- Some people have a lot of energy to burn off before they can focus in class.
WOW! I can't run that long. I hope I'll still make it though. It was good that you made a map
ReplyDeletefor me to follow. It was very helpful to do that for us. Maybe next time you could make it easier, by making the cross country shorter.
