LUCA XC League
The LUCA Cross-Country League (previously known as the London Colleges League; LCL) is an historic cross-country league for universities in London and the South East. It consists of four races over two terms with students competing to see their own improvement over the years as well as individual and team success.
The league gives students the chance to come together to race in some of London’s most loved parks.
Races are typically 5k (two laps) for women and 8k (three laps) for men. All races are held on a Wednesday at 3.00pm.
Athlete Registration
All athletes intended to race must be registered with LUCA. You only need to register once, so if you have raced in LUCA XC before, you do not need to register again. Registration is free for members of LUCA clubs. Athletes at non-LUCA clubs in London and the South East can race in the league for £20. Guests (e.g, alumni, students at universities outside of London and the South East) can join for £25.
Once registered, you will receive a LUCA ID. This is your initials followed by three digits. You need this ID number to link your finishing position to the results. When you finish the race, you will be given a finishing token. Hand this token along with your LUCA ID to the results desk.
