Cross Country
Guangyang Secondary School Cross Country Team develops resilient athletes through rigorous training that builds both physical endurance and mental fortitude. Our comprehensive three-session weekly programme combines speedwork, tempo runs, and long-distance training across diverse terrains at MacRitchie Reservoir, Bishan Park, and Bishan Stadium, teaching students essential pacing and running form techniques.
Through our unique reflective practice after each training session and race, students develop self-awareness and self-management skills while cultivating grit and self-discipline. Competing in championships like National School Games and WINGS-Active SG, our athletes learn responsible decision-making and relationship management, transforming challenges into opportunities for personal growth and team bonding.
