This Sunday sees the Club take it’s annual trip down to Gorebrdge to take part in the Lasswade XC, which is a fantastic Cross Country Competition that caters for all age groups, (U11’s up to Masters), and capabilities 🙂 and will take place at the usual location, Gore Glen Playing Fields, Engine Road, Gorebridge, Midlothian.

Distances for each age group and timetable for all races are as follows:

Travel
Due to the number of Athletes attending, we will be taking a Mini Bus and will leave Muirfiled Community Center at 10.15 on Sunday morning and will leave Gorebridge after the last race our Club Athletes are competing in, which looking at the Timetable should be 14.00. If you haven’t already done so, those wishing to travel down on the Mini Bus if you can please let Stephen know.

The bus should be back to Muirfield Community Center around 15.30.

If you are making your own way there, can you please txt Stephen on 07768 337 608 to let him know.

What Athletes Need to Bring 🙂
For the moment the weather forecast for Sunday is looking like a fresh, sunny, dry day – perfect cross country conditions 🙂 As we will be there for a couple of hours can all athletes please make sure you bring the following:

– Pack lunch and water (fizzy juice and cross country tend not to be a good combination :-))
– Club Vest
– 4 Safety Pins
– Warm long sleeved top, jogging bottoms, spare pare of socks
– Shower proof jacket, hat and gloves
– Spikes or Trail Shoes
– Bin bag for dirty shoes/ wet clothes (your parents will thank you :-))

On behalf of all the Club Coaches we hope you all enjoy the race especially those who are running their first Cross Country 🙂
