Cross Country​

Cross country running has been part of the sporting curriculum at Marlborough since its foundation. By building both stamina and mental resilience, running helps achieve a healthy mind in a healthy body as well as a lifelong awareness of the benefits of physical exercise. Our training programme aims to develop aerobic capacity over varied routes across the beautiful Wiltshire downland alongside interval routines on the playing fields for anaerobic fitness. The variety of inter-school and interhouse races encourages our pupils to challenge themselves physically through healthy competition and to take pride in their achievements and those of others.
