2023 Logan Fun Run

2023 sees the inclusion of the very first Logan Fun Run Schools Challenge.

This event is open to all schools (primary and secondary) and provides an opportunity for students to race against other students outside of existing school cross country events. Runners can be school cross country representatives or just have a passion for cross country running, amateur or experienced, the School’s Challenge is open to all.

Enrolled students may compete as a School's Challenge runner. Students choose to compete in the 1km, 2.5km, 5km or 10km runs. The top 10 placed students in each category will receive points for their school team. School's Challenge runners are also eligible to win Logan Fun Run overall and age group prizes in their chosen distance.

Anybody within the school community can join the school team (teachers, parents, siblings etc), one point is awarded for every team member in a school team. All participants are eligible to win Logan Fun Run overall and age group category prizes in their chosen distance. School teams are also eligible to win Logan Fun Run novelty team awards.

The school with the highest number of points at the end of the event will be awarded the School's Challenge Champion and take home a $1000 cash prize.

2. Create a team under your school’s name
3. Share the team URL to anyone interested in being a part of the team or registrants can pick the team name from a drop down menu when registering.
4. Encourage as many of your school community to be involved in the event, your team will receive one point for every team member registered and points based on your students results on the day, so the bigger your team the better your chance of walking away as the Schools Challenge Champion

Your team captain;

• will create the team within the registration system for all runners to join
• will be a key point of contact to receive important event information pre-event
• can view team participants to see numbers of team members etc

Schools can be as hands on or hands off with team management as they would like. Once the team is set up in the system, runners can register individually and self-manage their event day experience, or team managers can do bulk race kit collection, set up a school marquee, and manage runners on the day. Schools can choose to have runners participating in school colours or runners can self-manage their running attire. The choice is up to each school.

Each registered runner will receive all important event day information via email and can deal directly with Griffith Sport to manage any registration questions or changes.
