The 30, 40, 50 Club is an ‘Endurance Initiative’ for schools (Link here) that was launched by Welsh Athletics back in 2001 supported by Sport Wales. Welsh Athletics, along with other parties like Welsh Schools Athletics, are aware of a declining level of fitness in young children, and is seeking to remedy this whilst at the same time contributing to a resurgence of distance running in Wales and the UK.
Children will be encouraged to walk, jog or run a measured 1 mile course within the school grounds, or over a circuit in close proximity to the school.IDEA
Why not use the Saturday Cross Country League to rack up the miles for your school 30,40,50 Club?Over the weeks, the combined distances of your runners can go towards a 30, 40 or 50 mile target. Certificates and any other info can be downloaded here.
