Thermopylae Obstacle Course Race Results 2018
Here are the results for the top three schools. The results are an average taken from the fastest ten runners (not including teachers). If you would like to see where your school placed, I have created a Google Doc with all times. Please send me an email and I will share the link.
First place : Valley Creek School with an average time of 36.22
Second place : William D. Pratt with an average time of 36.96
Third place : Sir John A. MacDonald with an average time of 37.60
Here at Valley Creek, winning is not the top priority. Seeing the community come together, students helping other students, smiling faces (full of mud) and overall grit and determination is what we value. We hope you have found the value in that as well.
Thank you all again. The event is great only because of you!
Enjoy the rest of the school year and your well-deserved summer break!

Thermopylae Race Information
Hi everyone,
It is almost here! We are so excited to have you all on board for the Thermopylae obstacle course race.
Here are a few pointers and reminders for the day of :
GENERAL INFORMATION
- The race is a 5km, 15 obstacle mud race.
- It is held at Valley Creek School:
10951 Hidden Valley Dr NW, Calgary, AB T3A 6J2 on Tuesday, June 5th.
- We would ask that participants arrive around 3:30-4:00pm.
- The race kicks off at 4:30pm and ends around 7:00pm following prizes and announcements.
We will be selling Thermopylae performance shirts at the race. A shirt costs $14.
STUDENTS
- Students will need their own transportation to and from the race.
- Students will need their own water bottle (or two) with their name clearly labeled on the bottle.
- Students will need their own a snack.
- Students will need sun screen and bug spray. A hat may also be a good idea.
- Students will need a change of clothes for after the race. A garbage bag also works well to cover the mud on their bodies before getting back in the
car on the drive home. Remember, this is a MUD RACE,
so remind your students to wear used or older running shoes and clothes
that they do not mind getting dirty and possibly ruining.
- There will be no indoor access to the school during
the
race for those who are covered in mud. All doors will be locked and
there will be volunteers letting people indoors (only if they are clean)
to use our facilities. There is one portable toilet on site.
RACE ORGANIZATION
- Please let us know of any students who need to run in one of the
first heats (if they have other activities they need to attend later in
the evening and need to leave early).
Again, thank you for your support in our program and the race. We are thrilled to see you all in less than two days time.
