Unfortunately due to limited interest, the Contest will not be taking place as planned on March 10th. Scottish HQ has already been in touch with bands to inform them and will be liaising with the committee who will be in touch with band masters regarding potential future events.

The 2018 championships will by hosted Paisley & District Battalion at Johnstone's Thomas Shanks Park.  Teamwork, dedication, perseverance and commitment are all on show as BB runners aged 12 - 18 participate in this annual event. Past winners include Scottish Olympians Andy Butchart and Callum Hawkins.

It is not essential that the Battalion runs their own competition to allow entrants for the Scottish event, although many use the Battalion one to choose runners for the March date. If you haven’t entered the competition before, or if it has been some time since the Battalion did, please give some consideration to entering teams for the 2018 event.
