XC GP 2023-4 Rules

The Scottish Cross Country GP returns this winter with the first race at Lanark in the Lindsays Short Course XC.

Established in 2008/09, the Cross Country Grand Prix will incorporate four of Scotland’s biggest and best cross country races.

The competition is open to Senior athletes – men and women – and we hope it will act as a catalyst to get our leading athletes to race against each other regularly.

In total, there is £4000 in prize-money on offer for athletes in each division (£2000 for men and £2000 for women) to be split among those who place 1-10 in our points tables.

• Lindsays Scottish 4km Championships (Lanark)
• Lindsays Scottish District Championships (three venues)
• Scottish Inter-District Championships (Renfrew)
• Lindsays National XC Championships (Callendar Park, Falkirk)

For the points allocated at each event and further info, please check the document above.

Shettleston Harriers were delighted recently to be gifted spare kit from Laura Muir.

The club’s young athletes went into a prize draw for the chance of some of the goodies.

Laura also handed over kit to Garscube Harriers and East Kilbride AC in a superb gesture.

In video here, the multiple medallist talks to us about the important link between our elite athletes and our grassroots . . .
