The Leagues
Met League
A London League for All! Currently formed of 23 athletic and running clubs from around London, Essex, Hertfordshire and Middlesex, running 5 fixtures between October and February, for athletes from 9yo upwards.
- 5 fixtures between October and February
- Fixtures are in Central/North London on a Saturday afternoon
- Competitive, yet friendly
- Score for the club, no matter what position you finish in
Race numbers are collected at your first event for the season from our Met League captain, Michelle Wong, and you will use it for all subsequent races.
For more information, check out the league’s website https://metleague.run/.
Sunday League
The winter version of Summer League, without the picnic/relays, and a bit of mud! Fixtures are in locations just north of London on a Sunday morning. Team captain is Chris Notton.
- Men/Women run in the same race
- Friendly, but still competitive
- Courses are slightly easier than the Met League
