The Pembrokeshire Primary Schools Cross Country Championships will take place this month.

It was a great event in 2017 with over 1,000 athletes taking part - and now in its 28th year, the 2018 version is being organised by Pembrokeshire Harriers with support from Sport Pembrokeshire.

This year's competition returns to Oakwood Theme Park in Narberth on Thursday, October 18th following the bumper turnout of runners and spectators12 months ago. Every school in the county have been invited to enter individuals and teams.

Pete Freeman of Pembrokeshire Harriers has been involved in the organisation of the event from the very first race in 1990 and said: "The event has grown so much over the years and inspired numerous Pembrokeshire children to take up athletics.

"In 1990, Gerald Codd, Shay Buckley and myself organised the event with help from Corrine Codd, Ann Freeman, Renzo and Ann Rabiaotti. We could never have envisaged the success it would have back then. I am delighted."

Races begin at 2pm and all schools and spectators are asked to arrive in plenty of time to get to the start line.

Awards will be presented on completion of the eight categories.
