Cross country is a winter sport option offered to St Paul’s Collegiate School students.
Schedule
Each week, students participate in group training sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. These sessions aim to improve aerobic fitness and basic speed. Most training takes place after school at St Paul’s and at some of the surrounding parks that provide more challenging terrain.
For more serious athletes, an individual training programme is developed and students can join a local club to race in local club competitions.
Competitions
- Waikato Bay of Plenty Secondary Schools' Cross Country Championships
- New Zealand Secondary Schools' Cross Country Championships
Levies
The levy for Cross Country $20. There is an additional cost to students who choose to compete at the National Cross Country Championships. This cost is disbursed to the student and is dependent on the location of the championships. The championships have been as far south as Christchurch and as far north as Auckland.
