The British Cross Challenge is coming back to Scotland again – and will include our Inter-District XC Champs.

We will host the event on Saturday 11 January at the Alexandra Park course in central Glasgow.

The venue is close to the motorway network and this is a great chance for athletes from around Scotland – and beyond – to join us for a January cross country event only a few weeks prior to the Lindsays National XC at Falkirk in February.

Team selection processes are underway for our District XC squads to compete that day for Inter-District XC medals, with those on offer within the races at each age group.

If you don’t’ anticipate making the team for East, West, North (or Scottish Students at Senior level) then we are pleased to say open entries are now being taken online for these races.

Athletes representing their District will receive complimentary entry into the Inter District race in their respective age group and are not required to complete an individual entry online.  Athletes representing Scottish Student Sport and North England will also receive a complimentary entry.

Entries close at 4pm on Friday 3 January.

No late entries will be accepted.
