National XC relays, Cumbernauld on Saturday 27 October

Each lap is 4km and if you break 15 min you are going very well. I have heard that this is great event and last year the overall entry figure hit a quite remarkable tally of 2600 in 568 teams!

Senior and V40 (or combined) teams need 4 members whereas V50 needs three runners to make up a team. At the moment we have one provisional M50 team of Kenny Davidson, Scott McDonald, and Tom Hobbs lined up but looking to see if more are interested?

You need to be a Scottish Athletics member to enter.

Please respond if you are interested in being in a relay team by Friday 5 October as entries close on Thursday 11th and there will be a bit of do to pull everything to together

Details for this years event can be found here: http://events.scottishathletics.org.uk/events/20706-17830-lindsays-scottishathletics-national-cross-country-relay-championships 

However a fair bit of info is missing so probably better to look at 2017 info here: http://events.scottishathletics.org.uk/events/19966-17466-lindsays-scottishathletics-national-cross-country-relay-championships 

Just so you are aware it's the day before Jedburgh Half Marathon/10km and the day of the Jedburgh 3 Peaks Ultra.
