The fittest and fastest students from around Scotland will gather at Camperdown Park, Dundee, on Saturday 29 November, for the 2003 Scottish University Cross-Country Championships.

The annual event attracts an extremely high standard of competitors, and both races (women's 6km and men's 10km) promise to be an enthralling spectacle with over 120 participants.

There are five different trophies up for grabs for team and individuals, with a presentation ceremony at the Dundee University Students’ Association later that day.
