We're pleased to extend our sponsorship for the Scottish Cross Country Season until May 2026
The 2023-24 Scottish Cross Country season is well underway, with clubs across Scotland braving wind, rain and mud to compete. The season culminates with the Lindsays XC Trophy, to be presented in May, and all eyes are glued to the results board to see if Glasgow southside club Giffnock North AC can retain the trophy.
However, new this season is the introduction of two more trophies as clubs are split into three divisions to enable those of a similar size or turnout rate to ‘compete’ against each other. The goal has always been to encourage more competitors to enter and finish at three national events and this has been successful - last year 11 clubs had more than 100 finishers.
Ian Beattie MBE, our Chief Operating Officer and Chairman of UK Athletics said:
“This is one of the longest-running sponsorships in Scottish sport because we see the difference that it makes to the athletes, their clubs and the health of their communities. Well done to everyone who has taken part in the season so far, and we wish them good luck for the remaining events.”
As part of our sponsorship arrangements, Lindsays has designed a benefits package for local clubs and members of Scottish Athletics, which results in investment back into the clubs network.
