The Edgelands Run is Almost Here!
The countdown is on for The Edgelands Run! Our runners are training hard — some for the fun of wearing costumes, others to push themselves to run further or faster than ever before.
Why We Run We are aiming to raise another £20,000 to complete the Little Herons room. This space will greatly enhance the versatility of our nursery provision and help ensure our school remains a cherished part of the community.
Event Details & How You Can Help The adult relay will kick off at around 3 AM, with runners relaying their way back to school. We would love for as many children as possible to join the relay later in the day, alongside their families and friends. A designated adult must accompany all children on the Arnside route – they do not need to attend the school to participate.
Very young children can also take part by running loops of the running track when we return to school.
Children’s Routes There are two options for children and families to take part:
- Arnside Route
- Starts at 2 PM at the AONB Office in Arnside
- Follows the embankment to Storth
- Crosses at the bottom of Green Lane, then up to the school
- Ends with a victory lap of the school track
- 1.6 miles
- Heversham Route
- Starts at 2 PM in Heversham
- Run with Mrs Goodfellow and others
- Route: round the flats to the estuary, then along the shore line or via Quarry Lane (conditions permitting)
- 4-5 miles
Participation & Medals All runners will receive a commemorative medal. A small donation of £3 is requested to cover the cost. If your child plans to participate, please let us know so we can ensure enough medals are available.
Quiz: We have created a 20-question quiz to test your knowledge of the Edgelands area. These are available for £1….There will be a prize draw for the most correctly answered quiz sheet during the afternoon.
After the Run, Join us at school for a celebration filled with fun activities:
- Sponge throwing at people in the stocks
- Bouncy castle
- Rounders match
- BBQ, bar, raffle, cake stall, candy floss & sweet stall
We Need Your Support To make the day a success, we need volunteers for:
- Car support to help transport runners to starting points
- General help throughout the event
Most importantly, we encourage you to support your child in participating and help them collect sponsorships. Please fill in the attached form if your child/ children would like to take part in the run, and please let us know if you can help in any way.
