Introducing the Chingford League

The Chingford League, now in its 68th year, is another popular series of races, scheduled between September to February, ending with a season finale at Wanstead Flats with the team relays. All club members are welcome to participate, and does not have any qualifying time requirements. The organisers describe it very eloquently… “A mix of cross country and tarmac surfaces, over 5 miles or 5k.

The league offers serious competition for fast athletes combined with an inclusive ethos to encourage newer runners to “give it a go”. The mix of challenges is also perfect for park runners who are improving, but want to vary distances and terrain to boost their performance and progress towards goals like 10k, half marathons and beyond.”

Pre-registration is required by the organisers. To register your interest to run in any of the races during this season, please sign up to the club Spond app and tick your attendance on the specific club events.
