Lauder Cross Country report - Borders Series Round 1 2021-22

The first round of the 2021-22 Borders Cross Country series was on Sunday at Lauder. It was a great turnout on a breezy day with 4 juniors and 19 seniors taking part so well done all. Most of the seniors are in the photo below. 

The organising club Lauderdale Limpers did a superb job and it was seemlessly organised, along with sun and lots of mud for good measure. Here's what the Limper's said:

Thank you to all our runners today and I hope you enjoyed our Cross Country Course at Lauder. Could not happen without our amazing group of volunteers too many to mention but you know who you are.   The sun shone and Bonnie Lauderdale was amazing. Cherry on the top was a fine victory for local lad Marc Wilkinson.  Looking forward to rhe rest of the Borders XC Series.

The team rankings after the first event put the Men 4th and the Women 6th so great to see if we can maintain the excellent intial turnout and continue the strong showing over the series. You need to do a minimum 4 races out of the 8 to get a series placing, and the first 3 finishers from the club count for the team ranking.
