scottishathletics are delighted to confirm the Cross Country Team Challenge (Short Course) for 2024.

Building upon the success of the scottishathletics Cross Country Grand Prix series, the Challenge is focused on team performance in the three short course events (4K) at the beginning of the Cross Country Season.

Our winning clubs (Men and Women) will be eligible for the first prize of £250.

The challenge is open to Senior/U20 teams from Scottish clubs, both Men and Women.

Entry is automatic for clubs participating in the following events:

Lindsays District XC Relays – 5 October – East (Livingston), North (Nairn), West (Kilmarnock)
Lindsays National XC Relays – 19October (Cumbernauld)
Lindsays Short Course XC Champs – 4 November – (Lanark)

The scoring system is as follows:
Lindsays District XC Relays – 1st (10 points) reducing by 1 to 10th (1 point)
Lindsays National XC Relays – 1st (20 points) reducing by 1 to 20th (1 point)
Lindsays Short Course XC Champs – 1st (20 points) reducing by 1 to 20th (1 point)

After each stage of the competition, clubs will be ranked based on their team placing, culminating in final Challenge standings after the Lindsays Short Course XC Championships.

B, C, D etc teams will be eligible for the Challenge.

In the Lindsays Short Course XC Champs they will only be calculated for the purposes of the CCTC, but will not contend in the Championships themselves.
