DOZENS of children from across Redditch are set to converge on Ipsley Park later this month for the District Schools Cross-Country Championships.

Youngsters from Years 5 and 6 will be battling for glory this Friday with racing set to start at 2pm around the course which is off Icknield Street Drive.

And there will be further titles at stake on Friday, November 18, when the other age groups from Redditch's middle and high schools take part in their championships. The racing on that day is due to start at 1pm.
