XC Sessions this winter (our story from September with a number of dates)

Group cross country sessions around the country are well underway for winter 2022-23 and it is good to see these taking place in three areas.

The North, Glasgow and now Edinburgh are all now involved and scottishathletics are always keen to support clubs, athletes and coaches working together towards the goal of raising overall standards.

And this weekend sees more sessions taking place – with our thanks to those organising these.
