St. Brendan’s College, Killarney, currently holds the Boys Shield with 15 points. In the Girls category, Presentation Killarney and Presentation Milltown are joint defending champions, having tied with 6 points each last year.
The competition begins at 11:30am with races organised across four age groups. In the Minor category, girls will compete over 1500m while boys run 2000m. The Junior races consist of a 2000m course for girls and 2500m for boys. Intermediate athletes will see girls running 2500m and boys covering 4000m. Finally, the Senior events feature a 2500m distance for girls and a 5000m challenge for the boys.
Medals will be awarded to the first six individuals in each race and the top three teams. Team scores are calculated based on the finishing positions of the first four runners from each school. Following the event, the 2026 Best School Shields will be presented based on the cumulative points earned across all age categories.
