2024 Lindsays Trophy Finishers after Lanark

Calling all clubs!

Lindsays Trophy league places are up for grabs via finisher numbers at the Lindsays National XC at Falkirk.

We’ve changed the competition significantly this season to split into three divisions – with three trophies and promotion and relegation

And what happens on Saturday 24 Februar at Callendar Park in terms of how many athletes finish for each club will dictate the final league position for 2023-24 for the club.

So don’t miss out on entering names for Falkirk via our online system. Entries close on Thursday 8 February (at 5pm)

With superb support from Lindsays, who have agreed to provide two more trophies, we are looking to reward the winners in each division as well as highlight the 1-2-3 on the ‘podium’.

The good news after we compiled the figures from Lanark (Lindsays Short Course XC) to add to those from Cumbernauld (Lindsays National XC Relays) is that participation and engagement in the Lindsays Cross Country Season is peaking spectacularly.

That in essence is the goal of the competition and it’s exciting to note that already no fewer than 15 clubs already have had more than 60 finishers at the first two events.

Remember, we plan to have promotion and relegation, too, with a four down and four up system – so the clubs in ‘danger’ can still avert that via their finishers at Falkirk.
