Chantry Middle School took part in the World Marathon Challenge on Wednesday 7th October at KEVI athletics track with students from Newminster Middle School and King Edward Vl High School.

The aim was to try and beat the World Marathon time: 2:02:57 men and 2:15:25 women, with student taking it in turns to run 200 metre legs to a total distance of 26.2 miles. 69 students took part and were split into an A team and a B team. It took 2hrs 4 mins for team B and 2hrs 7 mins for team A to complete the run. Our times were fed into the computer and we are waiting to hear how we performed nationally.

The weather was pretty miserable on the day so a great big thank you goes to all the students who took part in this fun event.
