Inter-District website report 2015

The Great Edinburgh XC is always one of the most eagerly-awaited fixtures on the calendar and the 2016 version is no different!

There’s a hectic programme, as ever, on a day which combines top level international cross country races with the Inter-Districts as well as the mass participation Great Winter Run and Junior Great Winter Run.

And on Saturday 9 January there will be even more Scottish interest with two Scotland teams competing in the 4 x 1K Relay race as well teams at U23, U20 and U17 level competing in Celtic Nations XC races against Wales, Ireland and Ulster within other races.

The timetable for the day is listed on the Events section of this website and we’re pleased to now add the start-lists for Inter-District races at Holyrood Park, on a day which includes coverage on BBC television.
