LONDON YOUTH GAMES LAUNCH NIKE X LYG VIRTUAL CROSS COUNTRY TO KEEP YOUNG LONDONERS ACTIVE DURING LOCKDOWN
London Youth Games are taking cross country virtual with the launch of the Nike x LYG Virtual Cross Country competition, an exciting new event designed to keep young Londoners active during lockdown.
Each year, cross country marks the start of the London Youth Games’ calendar with thousands of young Londoners descending on Parliament Hill in Hampstead Heath to determine the capital’s fastest runners. With lockdown measures in place and sporting events all over the world affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s London Youth Games’ season opener is going virtual, although we are hoping to hold a real event in the New Year.
Nike x LYG Virtual Cross Country will begin on Saturday 21st November and run until Sunday 6th December. All young Londoners will have the chance to take part, representing their boroughs in a London-wide competition across four different age groups: U11, U13, U15 and U17. Participants must complete a set distance, depending on their age group, and submit their time via the London Youth Games website to earn points for their borough. For the competition only run the distance advised for your age group:
Points are scored for participation and performance. Participants who upload proof of time over their set distance will be entered into a leader board for their age group. The winning borough and leader boards for each age group will be announced after the competition’s closing date. Make sure you read our Safety Guidance https://www.londonyouthgames.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Nike-x-LYG-Virtual-Cross-Country-Safety-Guidance.pdf before setting out on your run.
Time (and proof of time if you want to be included on leaderboard)
Just to clarify . . . you run your route first and then submit your entry with proof of time if you want to be part of the rankings but if you just want a point for participation just enter your details after you’ve run your route. You don’t need to enter before you run. However, you do need to submit your entry before 6pm on Sunday 6th December 2020.Many thanks,
