Match 2 – Lee Valley – Saturday 18th April 2020 – **CANCELLED**
Due to advice from the Government and England Athletics in relation to COVID-19, we have taken the decision to cancel this event. This is done with consideration for everyone’s health and wellbeing.
The second match of the 2020 LUCA Outdoor series will return to Lee Valley on Saturday 18th April, combined with the London Inter Club Challenge (LICC). This partnership allows us to host an event with a greater range of competition and extend our field events to include both pole vault and hammer for experienced athletes.
Event Description
The second match features the return of the multi-event challenge. Get a taste for multi-event sport by competiting in a selection of decathlon and heptathlon events for men and women respectively; a sprint race, a middle distance race, a jump and a throw. Scores are calculated using official IAAF score tables and added up across the four events. Medals are awarded on the day!
Combining with the LICC means that this competition has been granted a Level 2 permit by UKA. As always, the series stands a fantastic opportunity for those looking to try out athletics events for the first time as well as those looking to improve their times, heights or distances.
Don’t forget Alumni are welcome at our events and can compete as part of our Alumni Club – Motspur AC – find out more here.

LUCA Clubs: £5 per athlete per event, £12 per relay
Guests: £6 per athlete per event, £12 per relay

Events offered at the Lee Valley Match
Some events shall be combined with LICC competitiors, who will provide a greater depth of competition, but will not score for LUCA. As a one-off, we are able to offer both Hammer Throw and Pole Vault. However, for safety reasons we can only allow experienced athletes to compete: athletes therefore must have a Power of 10 performance in these events to compete. Note also that Hammer and Pole Vault will not score points towards the team standings.
Championship Event:
Multi-Event Challenge – Compete in four events to gain points for the ultimate all-round athlete title. This is a championship event, so medals are available and will be presented on the day! Not only that, but athletes will also score for the four events separately, so there are even more points on offer!
