XC GUIDE & FIXTURE LIST

The cross country season consists of league, district, national and club events. Please see below for further details on each. All events are very friendly and are a great way to get some conditioning work in! Athletes compete in the same age groups as they did for Summer T&F

East District League (U11 to Masters)

• The East District League has three races over the season.
• There is no team selection or restriction on numbers for this league. Please talk to your coach if you are interested in taking part.
• You simply turn up, report to the club banner to collect your number, warm up and run.
• There is no cost to enter these races.
• Athletes run in their age groups, with the top finishers for each club counting towards the score for their age group team.
• Each age group team then has their scores put towards the club’s overall male and overall female totals.
• See here for more info on the East District Cross Country League such as venues, course maps and the event schedule.

District Events

Lasswade AC are in the East District with two events over the season for U13 to Masters. The events are, the East District Relays* and East District Championships. Athletes will be asked in advance if they wish to enter these events.

*The District Relays are the season opener and they are great fun. Junior relays should have one athlete form each age group (U13 – U15 – U17) per team. (TEAMS MUST HAVE AN U13)  Each run their own leg before passing to their team mate in the next age group. All legs are the same distance.  Senior teams are made up of 4 athletes, U20 and upwards. 

Scottish National Events

These events are the National Relays, National Champs – both for U13 to Masters. Then we have National Short Course Champ’s (U15 upwards) and finally the National Masters Champ’s. Again, athletes will be asked in advance if they wish to enter these events.
