This year the Somerset College Track & Field programme has introduced a Spartan Park Run on Monday mornings from 7.00am to 8.00am. After the first four weeks of term, numbers have increased to more than 65 people, consisting mainly of students, a dozen or so parents and a smattering of staff.
Leaving from the Koala House car park, the Spartan Park Run takes participants over the road to Somerset Park and around several different courses of varying difficulty. The ‘Chase Group’ has a 2-kilometre loop, whilst the ‘Challenge Group’ can choose between a 3 or 4-kilometre option and for those daring enough they can take on the ‘Championship Course’ of just over 5-kilometre.
Our goal is to get students moving and active early in the school week, as well as promoting personal achievement in conjunction with a community spirit. Rumour has it that if we get over 100 participants, that our Headmaster may make an appearance and join in on the fun.
