Cross Country Championships- 5th February 2013
DBS took part in the Dubai Cross Country Championships on February 5th at Jebel Ali Primary School. 600 runners from over 20 schools in Dubai participated in the cross country relay races, with each runner having to run 1km over a very hilly course.
Our runners did extremely well and should all be very proud of themselves. Most of our teams had never ran over this type of terrain beforeand found the course very tough but they did not give up and showed great determination and commitment.
The Y5 Boys team (pictured left) were amazing. There were around 40 teams in their race category and the DBS team finished in 3rd place, this is the best that any DBS team has done before. The boys were delighted to be presented with medals and certificates at the end.
We are already looking forward to next years event!
