Warwickshire Road Race League

The league is organised by the Warwickshire County Athletics Association (WCAA). It consists of a number of road races over a range of distances throughout the year and our own Summer 6 is one of the races included in this series.

The best of six count towards the team prizes, while the best of five count towards the individual prizes.

There are approximately 12 Warwickshire clubs who compete in this league and we have had a small amount of success in the past. With a little extra participation, we could get among the prizes and, as a club, we hope to give this a greater profile this year. To encourage members to participate we have included some of these races in our Grand Prix competition.

Midland and National Road Relays

This annual event, held in Sutton Park, Sutton Coldfield, each March comprises a 12-stage men’s race and a 6-stage women’s race.

The women’s race has six equal distance stages, as does the national race.
