NEXT ROUND - DUNBAR, 20TH NOVEMBER

Please note that this years Dunbar race is at White Sands (as per last year).
Map of the senior route is attached. The junior route is similar, but takes a loop back to the start after the light house (rather than go all the way).

Any amendments that have been notified to us by 11th November have now been made to the results of the first leg.

WHITE SANDS - HOW TO GET THERE AND WHAT SHOES.

Sunday's race at White Sands near Dunbar is fairly flat.
The terrain is a mixture of beach and grass trails. However, there are stretches of the route that are very stony... so spikes may not be the best choice. Ultimately though, as ever, choice of foot ware is yours.

With regard to the first round at Lauder. Please note:

"Lauder are looking forward to hosting the first round of the Cross country series on 6th November. Registration will be open from 10.30 in the Leader Leisure Centre where there will be changing and showers. Please enter into the main hall and have your correct money and form (available from your club or this website) to speed up registration. I have arranged for hot drinks and snacks to be available from about 10.00 am so please come prepared with a cash donation for your refreshments which will help support the upkeep of this important facility. On behalf of all of the organising clubs I would like to thank Jack for organising this series once again which has grown many times from its origonal format and he has had a lot to deal with in the last few weeks with some of the changes which have happened. I think some of us forget that without the time spend by Jack and the organising club representatives we would not enjoy this great series for such a small outlay.  I am looking forward to welcoming you all to the "scenic undulating and slightly muddy" course which you all enjoy so much !"

PROVISIONAL DATES - 2011/2012
