Support for race organisers

The Committee is delighted to announce a package of support for cyclocross race organisers in this recovery year.

Edinburgh-based investment manager, Baillie Gifford will be providing £3000 of financial backing to support Scottish cyclocross race organisers that are detrimentally impacted by Covid-19, either through race cancellations or alterations caused by changing restrictions.

Baillie Gifford has also generously donated £600 towards the prize fund at the Scottish Championships in Dundee.

Meanwhile, following a tender process, Martin Harris of Pedal Motion will be supplying electronic timing for the 2021/22 season and beyond. Pedal Motion has extensive experience in providing a timing and results service for cycling events at all levels.

In addition, Scottish Cycling will be supplying us with a quantity of race tape and access to other equipment needed to put on races.

We would encourage organisers to get in touch with us for further details on the support available by emailing hello@scottishcx.org.uk

Finally, a reminder that we have uploaded a handy race planner and format guide to our website here.
