On Wednesday 5th November 2025, The Mayflower took two teams of year 3 and 4 pupils to participate in the annual cross country event at Birch Hall Farm. This is the first year that we have entered two teams, each consisting of six runners - in an event where pupils are required to run approximately 1.2K across farm tracks and country lanes. We had a number of outstanding individual performances, especially those by Lexi Turvey and Cruz Healey - and we managed to come in bronze medal position as a team.

We would like to extend a massive thank you to all those involved in making this event run so smoothly: Gaenor Powell for collating results, Natasha Borges for organising and Birch Hall Farm for hosting.
