Youth League 2017-2018
The Saturday Series event at Rothamsted on the 7th Oct will see the start of the 2017-2018 Youth League Season which will continue through the Saturday Series events of November, December, February and March. Please see the Fixture list for details. The league is open to any School or Youth Group and we are keen to encourage more groups and individuals to compete.
Entry on the day is always possible, though we encourage larger groups to reserve maps in advance so that registration runs smoothly and we can cater for numbers.
The courses and classes will be unchanged from last year, with the courses determined by School Year:
| Year | Course | Distance | Expected Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 3/4 | White | 1 – 1.5km | 10 – 40 mins |
| Year 5 | White | 1 – 1.5km | 10 – 40 mins |
| Year 6 | Yellow | 1.5 – 2.5km | 20 – 40 mins |
