The Regional Phase of the 13th School Cross Country takes place at Praia da Vitória Marsh Environmental Park next Saturday, February 3, at 2:30 PM. It will involve the participation of about 150 students, aged between 9 and 18, who will represent twenty schools from all islands of the Azores.
Organised by the Regional Directorate for Sport, this competition is run by Terceira Sports Service in partnership with Terceira Athletics Association.
This year's edition will be held simultaneously with the Regional Cross Country competition, which also counts on the participation of Adapted Athletics. The school event will select the Azores representatives for the National School Cross Country to take place in Açoteias, Algarve, on February 23 and 24.
Bearing in mind the adherence of the Azores School Sports Association to ProSucesso, the Regional Directorate for Sport promotes, for the 13th consecutive year, the organisation of the School Cross Country. This project aims to strengthen and value social principals, among other educational and training goals.
