Inter-District start-lists for January 13

The simplyhealth Great Edinburgh XC is always one of the most eagerly-awaited fixtures on the calendar and we trust that the 2018 version will prove no different!

There’s a hectic programme, as ever, on a day which combines top level international cross country races with the Inter-Districts as well as the mass participation Great Winter Run and Junior Great Winter Run.

And on Saturday 13 January there will be even more Scottish interest with two Scotland teams competing in the 4 x 1K Relay race and GB representation for the likes of Laura Muir, Mhairi Maclennan, Erin Wallace and Eloise Walker.

The timetable for the day is listed on the events section of this website and we’re pleased to now add the start-lists for Inter-District races at Holyrood Park, on a day which includes coverage on BBC television.

With 11 races scheduled in all, it is undoubtedly a hectic programme but hopefully being part of a big event is an experience to savour for Scottish club athletes selected to represent their region in the Inter-Districts.
