The warm up will start at 9:30am in the Junior Race assembly area situated in the main Games Hall. It is requested that parents direct their children to this area where they will then be looked after by senior academy pupils. Unfortunately due to H & S parents will not be permitted in this area. The children will be led out to the start line by senior pupils and volunteers who will also accompany them around the course routes. There will be an area at the finish line where parents can watch children coming over the finish line into a pen where they will be kept until collected. Senior pupils and volunteers will be present in this area however will take no responsibility for children who leave the area without an accompanied adult. Therefore for younger children we suggest you instruct your child to wait within this area until you come to collect them.
Entry and exit to this holding area is via the play park at the back of the results caravan. Please wait at the other side of the railings. Children will be waiting in their category groups which will be clearly signposted.
