Primary school walking races at Steyning

THE annual Steyning school walking races attracted strong competition with 150 youngsters from primary schools around the area taking part on Saturday in the 26th running of the event.

Organiser Malcolm Geal said: " We had two firsts on the day. In the junior girls' section it was impossible to separate the first two across the line, and the next two also crossed together, creating two tied places.

"Then in the junior boys' section we had to stop the race because a number were running, rather than walking. We had a restart and the race was run properly."
