10/08/2010 London - North London Network event #3
Parliament Hill played host again to the third QuadKids event last Sunday (8th August), organised by the North London Athletics Network, Highgate Harriers and QuadKids.
This proved to be the most successful event to date with nearly 60 primary school children from the local area, including many new children and significantly plenty who had no previous club association taking part in this exciting new athletics format for the first time.
The children took part in a 75m sprint, 600m run, long jump and vortex throw with points being given for each performance. At the end of the competition each athlete was given a QuadKids certificate with the number of points achieved, and the most improved boy and girl were both awarded a medal.
