Any student, of the designated categories below, currently attending a primary, elementary, junior or senior high school in the province is eligible to enter the individual competition. Only schools affiliated with the NLAA can compete in the school competition. Schools are not required to designate their teams since the first four girls / boys to arrive at the finish line will score. There is no limit to the number of entries.
(It is essential that a school affiliates with the NLAA prior to, or at the first race to ensure that it is eligible for team /school points scoring. Only NLAA affiliated schools will be eligible for the Overall Series Awards. For more information call the NLAA office at (709) 576-1303).
