Children were able to bring bikes, scooters, prams, toy wheelbarrows - anything with wheels to complete the course.

All classes were given 20 minutes to do as many laps of the school field as possible.

Each year the Viking Challenge splits the proceeds between the school and their nominated charity. Last year both the school and the Derbyshire Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA) received around £11,000 each. This year the nominated charity is The Stroke Association.
