The Summer League
The Summer League is an inter club competition of four races between May and September at various venues around London. It is sometimes referred to as the Sunday League or the London League.
The races are usually 10K, cover all standards, and are based at a park local to the host club. The races start at 10am or 10.30 am – check the planner. The events are family oriented and many participants bring their children. After the 10k there is a tenderfoot race (about 2k) for children and a series of 400m relays. Scoring in the relays is age graded so five year old girls in ponytails can beat accomplished adults.
Lunch, in the form of sandwiches and cakes, is provided by the hosting club. Trophies are awarded at the end of the year for individuals in their age categories based on their best four performances in the five races.
