For many Scottish Veteran Harriers members the highlight of the competitive year is the annual British and Irish Masters Cross Country International. And this year the anticipation is heightened with the event being held on home ground at Tollcross Park, Glasgow on Saturday 12th November. For the many who will be interested we are now able to advise on the team selection process. This year will see an innovation with trial races being run over the course to be used for the International. There will be two races to be held on Saturday 17th September; a 6Km race for all women’s age groups and for men over 65 will start at 1.00 pm and an 8 Km race for all other men’s age groups will start at 2.00 pm.
The format for selection will be as follows; in the M35-39, M40-44, M45-49 and M50-54 age groups the first three finishers will be selected with an additional three being selected on known form. Similarly in the remaining men’s age groups and all the women’s teams the first two finishers will be selected along with a further two on known form.
Entry details and course map are available via the dedicated race page.
