Return of The Mass

Published by Kingham Hill School on Wednesday 30th of September 2026

Last Friday, we saw the return of The Mass, Kingham Hill’s annual cross-country race that has been part of school life for over 100 years.

With ideal conditions, pupils (and staff) ran the route in support of their Houses. From those battling for the front places to those focused on crossing the finish line, each runner gave their best effort.

Winding its way through the school grounds, the course has evolved over the years. Yet whilst the route may have changed, the spirit of The Mass remains same: every pupil taking part, supporting and encouraging one another each step of the way.
