Overall SCEGGS placed 11^th out of 25 schools which was an excellent result for such a small team. All students performed very well on the day, and we are very proud of all their performances.

SCEGGS Striders

Get ready to dive headfirst into the exhilarating world of Cross Country at SCEGGS!

At first glance, it might seem like an individual sport, but let us assure you that here, we are more than just runners; we are a close community bound by our shared passion for pounding the pavement and leaving our mark on the trails.

Our weeks kick off with Wednesday training, named “Striders.” It’s a midweek adventure that transforms ordinary mornings into extraordinary experiences. Picture this: the sun is just beginning to cast its warm glow over the city, and you’re lacing up your running shoes at 6.30am sharp. The excitement in the air is palpable, and you know you’re about to embark on an epic journey. As you gather at school, the energy is infectious. You and your fellow runners are ready to ‘stride’ around the stunning city of Sydney. Our runs are like a tour of Sydney’s greatest hits. From the iconic Harbor Bridge to the breathtaking Bondi coastal run, we’ve explored it all. You’ll get to witness some of the most stunning views this city has to offer, and it’s even more breathtaking when you’re running through it!

Later in the week, on Fridays, we have our traditional cross-country sessions based at McKay Oval, Centennial Park. Here we do all things running training! From laps around the pond or drills and sprints in the oval, these sessions are designed to challenge and improve our endurance, speed, and agility. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just getting started, our dedicated coaches are also there to guide you every step of the way, helping you reach your personal best. The serene natural surroundings of Centennial Park provide the perfect backdrop for our rigorous training, making each Friday session an invigorating and enjoyable experience for all participants.

So, if you’re ready to lace up your running shoes, embrace the thrill of Cross Country, and become a part of our running community, SCEGGS cross country is the place to be! Join us on Wednesdays and Friday mornings, where the road is your canvas, and the adventure never ends.

Take a look at the Images of some of our adventures with Striders.
