Huge congratulations to all the boys who raced on Chingford Plain this morning. It was the biggest turn out ever, with 266 boys racing! Unfortunately, the Longhorn cattle who graze there from April to November interrupted the race part way through. The front runners, including James S from Y5B who ultimately came 3rd out of all the competitors were clearly at the front of the field when the cattle were spooked and got in the middle of the racers. It was a scary moment!

The girls race was cancelled as a precaution. Although disappointing, this was clearly the wisest decision. The girls will now compete on Tuesday 17th December using Higham's Park Lake as their route.

Due to the presence of the cattle, some of the boys had to be re-routed and so it was impossible to judge the fastest teams. Huge congratulations to James S from Y5B for coming 3rd out of all the runners and very well done to everyone who entered for their fantastic sporting efforts!
