Schools International Athletic Board (SIAB)

CROSS-COUNTRY INTERNATIONAL SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, IRELAND, WALES.

VENUE CALENDAR PARK, FALKIRK, SATURDAY 22nd MARCH 12 noon.

This is an event held on annual basis and rotates around the four countries. There are a total of six races, under 15 girls & boys, under 17 girls & boys plus relays. Eight runners in each team with six to count for the team competition. There are individual awards for the first three athletes.

Added to this competition we have in recent years included two relay races with two girls and two boys at under 15 and the same for under 17.

This is a top quality competition we these young athletes are most of the best from the four nations involved, all qualified for their teams by way of the their Schools National Championships.

The races will be held almost completely within the area formerly used as golf course which makes the event very spectator friendly.

I would like to invite local people to come along and spectate if you have an interest in this sport and also if it’s new to you, the program takes approximately two hours, so still plenty of time to get to the football!

This event has major support from local athletics club Falkirk Victoria Harriers in setting the course, and we have THREE FVH athletes (more info to follow) in the Scottish team.
