Borders Cross Country Series 2021/22 confirmed

News September 2021
I can confirm the borders cross country winter series will go ahead this year 21/22. Entries will go live soon:
7th November 2021 Lauder
28th November 2021 Spittal
12th Dec 2021 Peebles
9th January 2022 Paxton
23rd January 2022 Hawick
6th February 2022 Dunbar
20th February 2022 Chirnside
6th March 2022 Galashiels
There are a few changes on how the series will be managed.
A new wrist band timing chip will be used to allow a safer environment for officials and runners, in particular officials at the finish line
Each runner will keep their own unique wrist band and will wear this together with their bib number at every race. The wrist bands are light weight and robust and can be kept not only for this series but re-used for future races year after year. There will be a purchase cost of £5 per wrist band. Replacement bands will be available again at a cost of £5 each.
Senior Cost:
£16 for all eight races plus £5 wrist band total £21
Junior cost:
£10 for all eight races plus £5 wrist band total £15
To avoid congestion at registration all bib numbers and wrist bands will be posted out prior to the first race at Lauder on Sunday 7th November 2021.
To minimize mixing of junior and senior participants. The junior race will start at the earlier time of 11:00am. The Senior race will start at the usual time of 12 noon.
Organisers will follow the latest covid 19 guidelines in operation at the time of each race and will expect full cooperation from participants.
