scottishathletics has confirmed there are 2460 names on the start-lists for the big day at Callendar Park on Saturday 22 February 2020.
It’s the biggest number of entries since Men’s and Women’s national cross country championships were combined into one event back in 1994. And with figures only available prior to that for Men’s events, the 2020 version will host the biggest numbers the sport has enjoyed in 40 to 50 years.
This event is where the winner of the Lindsays trophy will also be decided. Can three-time winners, Giffnock North hold on again this year?
We have been supporting the Scottish Cross Country Season for over six years now and look forward to another fantastic finale to the 2019-20 season this weekend.
The event will command significant attention across all scottishathletics media channels.
Vinco will be there to capture the action and we hope to have drone footage once again, too, after introducing that as a new feature a couple of years ago. We are planning a delayed broadcast on the Saturday evening with extended highlights and then shorter films of each race on our You Tube channel early the next week.
We would like to wish all the participants good luck on Saturday and will be watching in anticipation to see which athletics club scoops the Lindsays trophy this season.
