It is a team event with each runner adding to the clubs score.

It consists of six races organised by each of the clubs on Thursday evenings. There are three league titles up for grabs, men’s, women’s and combined.

The rules are simple you must be a member (aged 14 or over on the day of the race) of one of the six clubs and you must where a club vest. Runners of all abilities are welcome to compete for their club, all competing runners score at least one point for their club.One point can be the difference between first and second, so come along and run for Cambridge Triathlon Club. We also use this league as our clubs 5k championship.

That’s the simple bit!

Full details of each race will be provided closer to race day. Please be aware that the success of the series attracts more runners every year, which puts pressure on car parking venues and the capacity of each course. Therefore, we are asking participants to minimise car usage through car sharing and making use of alternative transport.
