Assembly League
The Assembly League is a series of six races open to all members of the league clubs. Most of the clubs in the league are based in east and south-east London e.g. Victoria Park Harriers, Dulwich Runners and Beckenham RC, with Serpentine being the most westerly club. There are a couple of school athletics clubs who are members making these races slightly unusual since adults and juniors race together.
Races are held on the first Thursday of the month from April to September and generally start at 7.15pm. Please wear your Serpie top when racing.
Locations
- The opening and closing races of the series are always held in Beckenham, based at Beckenham Cricket Club. This is a 2.9mile, single lap, undulating street course. There are toilets, showers, changing rooms and a bar with food at the clubhouse where the race is based.
- Two races are held at the Dome (O2). This is a fast, flat 5km, over an out-and-back course mostly on the riverside footpath. There are nearby public toilets but otherwise no facilities; you must arrive ready to run.
- Two races are held in Victoria Park, based at the Victoria Park Harriers clubhouse. This is a 3.5mile, flat, two lap course wholly within Victoria Park. There are toilets, showers and changing rooms at the clubhouse.
Results & Scoring
Results are distributed to the egroup a day or so after each race and Serpie results are loaded into the results database. Clubs earn points based on finishing positions and there are prizes awarded after the final race for the winning club and best performances etc.
