England Schools’ World Cross Country Championships

Six students from The King Edward VI School in Morpeth are set to carry the flag for England in the Schools’ World Cross Country Championships in Kenya this May.

The boys earned the trip of a lifetime by winning the English Schools’ Cross Country Cup after twice narrowly missing out on the national title.

But now the team of Northumberland students; Bertie Marr, Liam Roche, Ethan Phillips, Ryan Davies, Joe Dixon, William De Vere Owen, Oliver Calvert and Elliot Mavir, face another tough challenge before they have even stepped foot onto the plane to Nairobi. The KEVI team must come up with the cash to fund the £12,000 trip to Kenya, probably the greatest distance running country in the world.

Unfortunately, both English Schools and International Schools Sport Federation don’t provide any financial support for this trip and the funds will have to be found by the team themselves. Any donations to support this fantastic group of young people would be much appreciated.
