A RECORD entry of 642 children took part in the 40th running of the Sir Robert Geffery’s Junior School cross country run in Landrake.

The testing three-mile course, which sees runners tackle a variety of fields and hills, a section of woodland, plus a tidal salt marsh by the River Lynher, proved popular with youngsters attending from 39 different schools.

The overall winner was Rafe Jackson from Duloe School with Jonny Del La-Haye (Millbrook) and Alfie Nicholson (Carbeile) in close attendance.
