In October 2014, our sponsorship of the Scottish Cross Country Season was launched in a deal initially running for three years and has since been extended numerous times so that the agreement will now run until the end of the 2025-26 season and will conclude with the Lindsays XC Trophy presentation in May 2026.
As part of our work with scottishathletics, we have designed a benefits package for local clubs and members of scottishathletics that will result in investment back into the club network.

The finale, of course, is the Lindsays National XC which was held on Saturday 22 February 2025.
Ian Beattie, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Executive of UK Athletics said: “We are incredibly proud to have our name associated with the Scottish XC Season and to extend our sponsorship for another two years.
“The triumphs of our elite athletes in Scotland are inspiring competitors at all levels - and the continued success of this competition is testament to that. It’s incredibly well regarded by the clubs and we are really pleased to be able to play our part in making it possible through one of the country’s longest-lasting sporting sponsorships.”
Ian added: “As a firm, we encourage participation in sport as part of a lifestyle which encourages good physical and mental health. The fact that 115 clubs competed last season shows that our sponsorship chimes completely with our ethos. Good luck to all who take part in the months ahead.”
