The Interhouse Virtual Cross Country is well underway with students clocking up the kilometres for their house. Progressive kilometre totals for the first week are listed below. If we combined all the kilometres run so far, we would have travelled a total distance of approximately 2870km. To give you an idea of how far this is, we have plotted the distance on a map!

As you can see Wira are in front when all year levels are combined. Our primary and middle school students are clocking up some serious kilometres for their houses! There is still eight days left to participate so there is still plenty of time for you to add some kilometres to your house total.

Remember, students are required to screenshot their run summary and email it to PLCsport@pacluth.qld.edu.au in order to log their kilometres. Student safety is paramount and we ask all students to warm up correctly and have parent permission before completing any at home run sessions. Primary aged students will need to complete at home run sessions under parent supervision.
