Picked for Scotland! Athletes named for British Cross Challenge

Saturday 13th November 2021

Scotland vests have been awarded for the British Cross Challenge and Euro Cross Trials event at Liverpool later this month.

A number of Scots are planning to head to Merseyside for the races at Sefton Park on Saturday 27 November.

And scottishathletics are pleased to confirm no fewer than 22 athletes have been selected across three age groups.

We send our warm congratulations to these athletes and their coaches and clubs on representing Scotland.
