Held at RNAS Merryfield, the course was tough, with challenging conditions and ankle-deep mud in places. Every Selwood runner showed determination and resilience to complete the race. Our pupils delivered some fantastic results, with Year 8 runners competing against Year 9 athletes and rising to the challenge brilliantly. We are incredibly proud of all who took part — a huge congratulations to everyone involved!
