NEXT RACE - PAXTON HOUSE 11th JAN

Paxton XC Sun 11th Jan

Once again we are pleased to have Paxton House as the venue for the NRC round of the Border XC series and would like to thank the management & staff for their co-operation, also the Home-Robertson family for generously allowing us access to the surrounding farm/woodlands.

Paxton House is easy to find....signposted on the B6461 Berwick to Kelso road, 4 miles west of

the A1. For parking we hope to be able to use the grass area adjacent to the main park but please arrive in sufficient time as in the event of bad weather we will revert to parking on the main drive/road.

No cars will be allowed to park on the drive in front of the house.

Registration will be in the tearoom conveniently situated close to the toilets, parking and start/finish areas of both races. The tearoom will be open at 10am serving teas, coffee, soup, rolls  etc. 

Toilets are situated in the courtyard.

There will be new routes for both Seniors & Juniors in 2015 which will consist of the usual mixture of parkland, fields, stream crossing(s) depending on the weather, woodland/riverside paths and mud......maybe even the "Norham Rope"! 

Seniors will complete a loop of the Junior route before heading off in search of adventure!

Maps will be on display in the Courtyard on the day.....please note the course is unsuitable for spikes.

In order that we continue to be made welcome at Paxton House......PLEASE park where directed, when warming up stick to the marked route on the farm/woodland and try to avoid using the toilets whilst wearing muddy footwear.

Note that under no circumstance will washing shoes in the toilets be tolerated!!!

Race 4, Chirnside - PROVISIONL Results.

OK. A big thanks to everyone at Chirnside for laying on a great new addition to our series.
Who knew that shoes could carry so much mud on them??

Here are the (as ever) PROVISIONAL results.

Juniors HERE

Seniors HERE

Please let us know of any errors, omissions or downright inaccuracies and we will endeavour to rectify them.

See you all after the holidays .... so Happy Christmas!

Leg 4 Chirnside, Sunday 14th December.

Chirnside Chasers.  are extremely proud to welcome everyone to the fourth round of the Borders XC series at Chirnside. We hope we have set up a course that is challenging, enjoyable views and fun to do. Please wear off road/trail shoes as the both the junior and senior routes are unsuitable for spikes.

 

Please read the following information carefully so we can all enjoy the day. With a large number of people currently doing the series parking could be an issue unless everyone is sensible. We have kindly been given permission to use two areas to the south of the village, in and around the primary school, and near to the Ambulance station. There is only a 5 to 10 minute walk to the start from these car parks.

Please respect the residents in the village. There will be people in the car park areas to assist, however arrive in plenty time. Car parking in the Football ground is reserved for the emergency vehicles and Organisers. For those with satellite navigation the postcode for the school is TD11 3XH and it’s just off the A6105 road.

 

The senior route is just over 4 miles and starts and finishes at the football pitch.

The junior course is about 2 miles as follows:

Race 3, Moorfoot (Peebles), Sunday 30th November results (Ver 2)

Well. Who knew that mud could be quite that clingy, heavy and ample.

Many thanks to all the volunteers and helpers at Moorfoot for putting on such a scenic and challenging race again. And having the Tweed so close by to wash off muddy legs was a stroke of genius.

Here are the results (Ver 2)  for the Peebles races. These take into account all the gender realignments, forgotten then misremembered numbers, missing juniors, club changes etc. etc.

LEG 3 - PEEBLES. Sunday 30th November.

The start of Sunday's race (leg 3) at Peebles is, as previous years, at Hay Lodge Park.

Please note that there is LIMITED parking opposite the park, so please, if possible car share.

Race 2: Gala - PROVISIONAL results (Version 3)

Here are the second version of the results, taking into account some comments received.
NOTE: These are still considered PROVISIONAL until such times as we are happy that no more comments will be received.

If you are aware of any serious errors and/or omissions then please get in touch at bordersresults@gmail.com and we will try to rectify the problem.

Provisional SENIOR results are HERE

Version 3 of Provisional JUNIOR results are HERE

With regard the senior results. Runner 390 was recorded twice. However, they brought the error to our attention and their correct position has been recorded. This now leaves us with a "missing runner" in 39th place in about 24:37. This is important for everyone as it has ramifications on the category positions (in effect all 50+ have now moved up one place :-) ).

In general please note. Results are, and will continue to be, published in Google Documents (it suits us). If you can not read the results on a  particular phone/device etc then we apologise.

We are aware that these results are now "picked up" by the Power of Ten. We do not issue the results to the Power of Ten - they simply collect them from the site (we are, of course happy that they do so).
If a result is changed in our results at a later date and not picked up by the Power of Ten it is the individual runners responsibility to bring it to the attention of the Power of Ten.

Again - results are based on details entered by the runners themselves (or their parent/guardian) into Entry Central. While we will rectify any errors in this data if we can, please bear in mind it was not of our doing in the first instance.

The series is excellent value at £15 or £8 for juniors for 7 races. To keep costs to a minimum we still use manually recorded results. Occasionally people standing at a finish line (in the wet and cold) will make errors and omissions. We will endeavour to rectify these. However, while the races are cheap courtesy, consideration and patience are free.

See you in a few weeks at Peebles. Race location and details to follow soon.

RACE 2 - GALA' 16th NOVEMBER
