About St Andrews West Sands 5k
The St Andrews West Sands 5k takes place each September as the opening fixture of the Scottish Student Sport cross country winter league. Held on the town's West Sands beach near Forgan's, the 5 km race runs out and back along the sand, following a straightforward route that returns along the same path.
Organised by the University of St Andrews Athletics and Cross Country Club, this is an established part of the student cross country calendar, drawing competitors from universities across Scotland to compete as individuals and teams. The event sits within the club's broader fixture list of cross country, road and hill races throughout the year.
