Lindsays extends Scottish Athletics sponsorship

Legal firm Lindsays has agreed a two-year extension to its sponsorship of Scottish Athletics’ cross country competitions.

The Lindsays Cross Country Season, which covers National and District events each winter, will now continue until the close of the 2023-24 season.

And the contract extension will take the partnership with the legal firm up to a full 10 years – making it one of the longest-running sponsorships in Scottish sport.

Lindsays first became involved in cross country in Scotland back in 2014 with the main focus at that time on National events such as the National Relays, the Short Course and the National XC.

Over time, District Relays, District Champs and Masters XC have all been added as well as the Lindsays Trophy, which focuses on participation numbers by clubs.

Ian Beattie, Chief Operating Officer at Lindsays, said: “We are incredibly proud to have our name associated with the Scottish XC Season and to extend our sponsorship for another two years.

“The triumphs of our elite athletes in Scotland are inspiring competitors at all levels – and the continued success of this competition is testament to that. It’s incredibly well regarded by the clubs and we are really pleased to be able to play our part in making it possible through one of the country’s longest-lasting sporting sponsorships.”
