Following the snow melt and several hours of rain, the course was ankle deep mud! Children race within their respective age categories against some of the best runners in the county and all did remarkably well. As a runner i can assure you that they were some of the most challenging conditions for running so to complete the course was a huge achievement in itself! I will post the results once they're finalised. Well done to you all! ### XC [![](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/16922/xc%20run%201.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/images/gallery/16922/xc%20run%201.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/16922/xc%20run%202.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/images/gallery/16922/xc%20run%202.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/16922/xc%20run%203.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/images/gallery/16922/xc%20run%203.jpg) [ Reading in obscure places - COMPETITION](https://fairfieldprimary.co.uk/news/2018-02-07-reading-in-obscure-places-competition) [Active Families is a hit! ](https://fairfieldprimary.co.uk/news/2018-02-12-active-families-is-a-hit) ![Fairfield Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/images/logo/Fairfield_logo.png) #### Fairfield Primary School Gallowbarrow Cockermouth CA13 0DX 01900 821133 01900 821132 #### Academies Within Our Trust: - [Broughton Moor Primary School](https://broughtonmoorschool.co.uk/) - [Broughton Primary School](https://broughtonprimarysch.co.uk/) - [Cockermouth School](https://cockermouthschool.org/) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/fairfieldprimaryschool/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/fairfieldprimaryschool/) [![](https://fairfieldprimary.co.uk/images/logo/LFLT_Logo(1).png)](https://learningforlifetrust.co.uk/) Company Number: 09690231 (England & Wales) Registered Office Address: Fairfield Primary School, Gallowbarrow, Cockermouth, CA13 0DX © Copyright 2025–2026 Fairfield Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://fairfieldprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
