Highland
Cross 2012
Highland Cross 2012 will
take place on Saturday 23 June 2012.
The list to receive
competitor application forms for Highland Cross 2012 is now
closed.
From the replies
received from 2011 competitors, unsuccessful applications from
previous years and new applications, we are hugely oversubscribed.
We already have over 340 requests for the 240 teams available and we
find that most application forms are completed and returned to us.
The organisers
apologise to anyone who wished to add their name to the list but can
only suggest that if they are interested in Highland Cross 2013,
they mark 3rd September 2012 in their diary as the date to register
for an application form for 2013.
