Cross Country

Downside School has a long and proud tradition of cross country running. We regularly host races on our excellent course around the school grounds; from the Regional Final of the ESAA Schools Cup, the annual Downside Trophy Invitational and a round in of the Mendip Primary Schools league.

As an extra-curricular activity, running training is available throughout the academic year, and boys and girls in the Fifth Form and Sixth Form can choose the sport as a Games option in the Michaelmas & Lent Term.

Our talented athletes receive high quality weekly training throughout the academic year from qualified specialists and regularly compete with distinction in Inter-School, District, County, Regional and National competitions.
