Danske Bank Ulster Schools’ Senior Squads’ Lockdown Running Challenge Event-Part 2 March 2021
Following the undoubted success of both the first Danske Bank Ulster Schools’ Senior Squads’ Lockdown Running Challenge Event, which took place at the end of January, and the Danske Bank Medallion Yahtzee Lockdown Running Challenge Event, which was completed at the end of February, John Andrews has launched a re-run of the Danske Bank Ulster Schools’ Senior Squads’ Lockdown Running Challenge Event. This event is timed to take place between Monday 8th March and Saturday 13th March.
The event has been slightly modified and participants will aim to run 5km on Monday 8th, 2km on Wednesday 10th, 1 km on Thursday 11th followed by the final 3km on Saturday 13th.
There will be two categories to enter for the challenge-one with a 15 man squad, which may suit some of our schools with lesser numbers available, and the other with a 25 man squad which would suit some of our schools with larger numbers wishing to participate. Indeed, some of the schools with larger numbers of participants might wish to enter teams into both events.
The final Danske Bank Ulster Schools’ Senior Squads’ Lockdown Challenge Running Event Dream Team will be selected from both events with the final selection based on the best 3km times
Points scored
· 2 points for each run completed.
· 1 point per km (e.g., running the 3k will get you 5 points total)
