Virtual Cross Country 

SSV is delighted to provide this great opportunity again in 2022. Victorian primary and secondary students can take part in any way they would like. Students can run, jog or walk for a new personal best or for fun and fitness. The main aim is for students to get out and give it a go. Every metre run by a student will earn virtual points for their school. Students will be given the option to submit their results online, but if they wish they also now have the additional option to not have their results made public. #SSVVXC.
