Cross Country 2014.




Cross country is a very long run, which takes a lot of exercise and training to prepare for it. Cross country is a long distance run. It helps a person’s ability to run long distance. Pt England school had cross country on the 11th of September.

Pt England school comes together and does a big run. There are 2 or more house captains in each house colour. The colours that are involved are Takitumu (Yellow), Te Arawa (Red), Tainui (Blue) and the last house is Matatua (Green).  Us students can dress into our cross country house colours if we want to. All of Pt England students are involved in the big run.

Depending on the age of a person, the cross country has different distances. The younger students are, the shorter the distance. The older they are, the longer the distance. Due to the fact that cross country is a very long distance and lengthy run, it pushes a person to complete the run.

Cross country is similar to a marathon. But it's not. A marathon is much longer and it takes more preparation and training for. Cross country is a race that you can push yourself.

You see cross country is not that easy. And you really have to push yourself to finish the race off properly.
