The Sussex Schools Year Seven and Year Eight Cross Country Championships have been saved.
The event, originally scheduled for Ardingly College, was called off over foot-and-mouth concerns due to the course's rural location.
But Imberhorne School (East Grinstead), following talks with Sussex Schools cross country manager Shaun Gilham, will now stage the Championships tomorrow.
The races will be shorter as the event will be confined to the school's fields.
Brighton schools Dorothy Stringer and Varndean offered to put them on, but it would have meant switching the Championships to later in the calender.
Meanwhile, Jenny Bliss (Brighton and Hove) triumphed in her under-17s debut at the Broadbridge Heath Indoor Pentathlon Open.
James Taylor (Horsham) claimed the boys' under-15 title from Stuart Luffman (Worthing).
