192 athletes have registered for the third leg of the 2019/2020 East Series cross country scheduled for the Beveridge Park in Kirkcaldy on Thursday 7th February. Inspired by GOGA and supported by Spirit of 2012 there will once again be a Walk in the Park and 11 races covering distances from 500m to 3k. This is the largest entry to date and there is a strong male and female entry.
The event is organised by Disability Sport Fife and Fife Athletic Club on behalf of Scottish Disability Sport and Scottish Athletics. The organisers are indebted to Kirkcaldy Rugby Club and Kirkcaldy HS Sports Leaders for support. Nine Fife schools have pupil representatives and as always Fife AC has an entry of top athletes.
The cross country season concludes with the final East Series race in Edinburgh, followed by the Scottish Championships in Glasgow and finally the Fife Championships at the Beveridge Park. This Thursday athletes will be running for points towards the overall Series championship in each individual year group.
May the sun shine brightly on our enthusiastic young athletes and the conditions under foot be all that we would hope for.
