This term, Burnie Primary School students will be participating in The Marathon Challenge (42.2kms for Grades 3-6) with a reduced distance for Prep 10km, Year 1 - 15km and Year 2 - 20km).

The aim being for the students to see how far they can run. Students will be running during Daily PE and if they choose to, can do so at recess and lunchtimes. Students will record their distances in class on a personal tally sheet. 

This will also be a house competition and house captains will be collating their house distances also.  

Students are able to add to their distance tally at home after school or during the weekend, if parents could send a note to their child's teacher stating distance ran, then this can be recorded on their tally sheet.

Students who complete the challenge will receive a certificate.
