Back to mud (and frost): Hundreds get ready for our Inter District XC races in Glasgow
Open Track start-lists (becomes Results)
The Scottish Cross Country Season returns centre stage this weekend.
And the Inter District Champs in early January is always one of our most eagerly anticipated events with the Lindsays National XC to follow a few weeks later.
As was the case last year, Alexandra Park in Glasgow is the venue for Saturday’s event and the course there – close to the M8 motorway in the city centre – really is something of a ‘hidden gem’.
The race routes around a hilly golf course presents a challenging test for athletes and also delivers for spectators with runners up close and the added bonus of spectacular views over Glasgow.
The eight races planned are ‘open’ and we are delighted that means around 650 athletes in total are listed to be in competition.
East, West and North athletes and teams do battle in the three teenage age groups while the Senior/U20 races also include a selection representing Scottish Student Sport (from our colleges and universities).
