The agreement will run until the end of the 2022-23 season and will conclude with the Lindsays National XC in February 2023 and the presentation of the Lindsays Trophy thereafter.

Ian Beattie, chief operating officer with Lindsays and chairman of Scottish Athletics, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting the Scottish Athletics Cross Country Season for another four years.

“This is an important sponsorship for Lindsays and we value the opportunity to continue our very successful partnership with Scottish Athletics.

“Cross country continues to have a positive impact in local communities across Scotland thanks to the commitment of the clubs, their supporters and members.

“We’re delighted to continue to play a part in that.”
