Eilish’s tracks to Tokyo
Even just reading about athlete Eilish McColgan’s 2020 is enough to make you breathless. She kicked off in style with convincing wins in her first four races. Starting with a 1 January race in New York’s Central Park, she then ran further races, and wins, in Bermuda, and is targeting a place at the Tokyo Olympics with training camps in Kenya, Switzerland and Arizona, and races in Netherlands, the UK, Sweden and Italy.
We wish her the best of luck with her training – it’s a pleasure to sponsor her and follow her progress as she targets success in Tokyo.
Lindsays Scottish Cross Country Season
Not quite the Olympics, but still a great day in the scottishathletics calendar is the Lindsays National XC, in Falkirk’s Callendar Park in February. This year’s meet delivered another PB, with record entry numbers of 2460.
We recently extended our sponsorship of the Scottish Athletics Cross Country Season for another four years. We also added a new event, the Lindsays Masters XC Champs.
Cross country has a positive impact in local communities across Scotland thanks to the commitment of clubs, their supporters and members, and we're delighted to play a part in that.
Lindsays staff stage a volunteer takeover at Falkirk parkrun
It’s not just the runners who make a race, it’s the people who help. On the morning of the Lindsays National XC in Falkirk on 22 February, Lindsays staff did a friendly takeover at the Falkirk Parkrun, also at Callendar Park.
Congratulations to our team of volunteer timekeepers, barcode scanners, marshals and funnel managers who supported runners on the day.
