Junior hill runners picked for Scotland to race in Northern Ireland
2026 British & Irish Junior Mountain Running Championships
Scotland teams will compete in the Junior Home International in hill running.
And we are delighted this year to select no fewer than 18 young athletes to compete at U20 and U18 level.
The event is being held on Saturday 12 September in Mourne Mountains, Newcastle, Northern Ireland.
Following the change to the new age groups, the JHI U18 category allows final year U16s (born in 2011) to compete to give them experience of international competition as they will be eligible to compete for GB next year in the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships in South Africa.
That is reflected in our Scotland team selection at U18 level.
The JHI incorporates the British and Irish Junior Mountain Running Championships and is an open event.
U20 Men
Alex Dunlop (Central AC); Kieran Hardie (Harmeny AC); Rowan Taylor (Lasswade AC); Lachlan Thomas (Ross County AC)
U20 Women
Emily Atkinson (Haddington); Hania Czebreszuk (Aberdeen AAC); Eliza Konig (Fife AC); Kirsty Rankine (Gala Harriers)

(*In the U18, each team can feature one U16 athlete born in 2011)
