Morning Run

Morning Run Club

 

We offer the opportunity to take part in a morning run on Friday mornings for children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6.

 

What a great way to start the day! Our running track provides us with a nearly all-weather surface to safely run on, meaning that we can offer this club all year round. We encourage the children to try and improve on their previous runs but the ultimate aim is to enjoy running. Some pupils come to walk/run around the track and have a catch up with their friends before school; some pupils come to improve their own PBs (Personal Bests); and others use it as one of their training runs during the week, building up to a competition or event.

 

Our track is 1/5 of a mile. We have PBs ranging from 3 laps (960m) to 9.25 laps (2,960m). Mr Green and Mr Trudgeon join in too!

 

Without a running club available for our pupils in Bridgwater, a number of our pupils have started attending Taunton Athletics Club (TAC).

 

Results at our Cross Country events

A large number of our Morning Run Club members also attend the Sedgemoor Cross Country competitions. Since introducing our weekly morning run in 2022, we have seen huge improvements in their finishing positions at the inter-school competitions as well as the participation numbers. Our highest turn out for an event is over 70 KS2 pupils!
