Posted 20th June 2019

This Saturday, 22nd June, Wilson’s Summer parkrun will be held at Roundshaw parkrun and includes staff, students, old boys and parents. This will also form a house competition which will be based upon the number of finishers for each house - not fastest times!

The run starts at 09:00 on Roundshaw Downs which is very close to Wilson’s (parking is at the Costco car park). Please aim to arrive by 08:45 for a team photo and inspirational team briefing! The course itself sweeps around Roundshaw Downs in an anticlockwise direction (2 laps) and is 5K in total. For those who haven’t been to Roundshaw Downs before, it is quite surprising how lovely it is. There are also impressive views of the London skyline (and Croydon’s skyline…). Typical times range from 18 minutes to 50 minutes so it really is for all standards, whether you run the whole course, run/walk or just walk. There are also volunteering positions available for anyone who would like to marshal etc instead.

It is also completely free and all you need to do is register with parkrun and bring a bar code along.

Please also note that ‘Wilson’s School’ is a club on parkrun so do select this if you are registering for the first time.

As this is for students and parents as well, please promote this to your forms when it comes up on the announcement slides. It can also be billed as a pre-sports day 5K house competition to get into the sports day mood!

Last year it was a great morning and we had a good mix of staff, boys, parents and one or two old boys as well.
Hopefully this year will be much of the same.
