Round 5 of the 2013 Scottish Cross Country Championship is the infamous Bathgate Night Comp.... racing in the dark!
Traditionally this is always our highest attended event, with a high number of competitors making their annual trip over the sea and border to compete over the 75 miles at this fantastic site.
Please let us know if you intend to be there as numbers are limited to 25 entries. Reply to this post or give Sharon Scott a call, thanks!
We have devised a stage that is 5 miles long, all on open grassland with lovely, flowing, tail out corners, fast straights and one or two technical challenges to keep the drivers on their toes!
For anyone wanting to extend their weekend, the camping area opens on Friday morning, guided tours of the event site are also available at this point, hammers and staple guns will be provided free of charge too! The camping and service area has stunning views over the Lothian’s and Edinburgh, right out over the Forth Estuary and the Bridges and you also get a great view of the racing action which should help keep the service crew awake! Catering will be on site too!
