Entries are open for the Lindsays Short Course XC.

This year’s event will be held in Fife on Saturday 7 November as we head for Kirkcaldy.

Races will take place in three age groups as the Lindsays Cross Country Season moves from team events to individual races (albeit with team medals, too).

Entries Close: 5pm Thursday 22 October 2026.

No late entries will be accepted.

All athletes must compete for their first claim (Scottish) club or their school/university club (if affiliated).

Athletes who compete in a scottishathletics championship MUST be current members of scottishathletics on the day of the race. Individuals or Team managers will not be able to enter athletes without a valid membership online, so it is important that membership validity is checked well in advance of the closing date.

There will be no entry extensions for membership renewals.
