Enter here for October 22-27 Virtual Road Challenge

Entries are open until midnight on Wednesday for the next scottishathletics Virtual Road Challenge.

And this time we’ve set up the event so that Seniors, Masters and U20 athletes all have different distance options for their run.

This challenge is happening from the early hours of Thursday 22 October through to 11.59pm on Tuesday 27 October.

It is FREE to all scottishathletics members; alternatively, athletes may choose to donate £2 per runner towards our ongoing admin costs. We’re open for runs from all ages from U11 through to Seniors and Masters.

Please note that with changes to the XC schedule, this Virtual Road Challenge is no longer a qualifier for the Lindsays Short Course XC.

But we will have individual and team leaderboards.

 Entry

*Registration is through the scottishathletics online club or individual portal.

*Club Entries are FREE or £2 per athlete to a limit of £15 per age group.

*Athletes do not need to select which distance they will run at the point of entry, nor which day they intend to run on. Athletes may complete their run at any time during the competition window, and should confirm the distance they have run when submitting their performance.
