Edinburgh International Cross Country

[Sunlit Forres]

If you're planning on going to Holyrood Park to watch the BUPA International Cross Country races on 9th Jan, keep a look out for Moravian member Ben Livesey who's running in the 9K race. The event is being televised by the BBC between 1.00 and 2.30.

Ben started orientering with us just over a year ago; he'll be the only runner wearing an RAF vest and any encouragement will be really appreciated. Anybody know of any other orienteers running in the event?

Didn't Steve Vernon run it this year and finish very high up?

Despite some strong support from the Edinburgh orienteering lot.

The races includes the Interdistrict/Unis Cross Country (assume Ben is running for North District). I can't find the teams, but I would imagine that Hector Haines and Murray Strain should have got picked. Whether they run or not, who knows?
