Schools prepare for world record attempt
The run takes place on Wednesday 21June. Organisers hope to set a new World Record when thousands of seven to 11 year-olds participate in a co-ordinated two-kilometre fun run at hundreds of schools across the UK and Ireland.
Schools also get the chance to win 100,000 Tesco Sports for Schools and Clubs vouchers, which they can exchange for sports equipment.
As a race ambassador, Commonwealth Gold Medallist, Dean Macey, said: “I am thrilled to be involved with the Tesco Great School Run! I think it is extremely important that children are encouraged to get active as part of a healthy lifestyle.
“I hope that this year’s race will see us sprint into the record books!”
Organiser Nova International is expecting over a quarter of a million Key Stage Two children from all over the country to participate in the run. Over 800 schools have already registered.
Participating schools will all receive a free CD-based teachers’ pack created by educational specialists
The teachers’ pack contains a five-week programme of physical and classroom activities to help children get in shape for the Tesco Great School Run.
David Hart, Communications Director at Nova International, said: “The Tesco Great School Run is set to be the world’s biggest ever organised junior running event. This will beat last year’s entry level and easily overtake the numbers who run in other similar large-scale races around the world.
“Don’t forget to encourage your school to get involved and get fit this summer!”
Debra Stones, Head of Corporate Responsibility at Tesco, said: “We are all very excited about this year’s run as we have had an astonishing response to entries this year.
“I would like to thank all those kids who will be taking part in what is sure to be a fantastic and memorable event. Moreover, it’ll be a great way of combining sport and learning to show youngsters the way to a healthier lifestyle.”
Schools that have not registered and wish to take part can get more information and a free Teachers’ Pack from www.greatschoolrun.org
Tesco Great School Run is an organisation by Tesco to encourage young children to take in excercise for fun.
