Team Captains

Welcome to 2025 and a year of races to plan for. The Leicestershire Road Running League have announced dates for 11 races - see below.

For most of us, these races are about having fun and perhaps pushing ourselves a little bit, but do not be put off by them just because "faster runners" are in attendance - all abilities are welcome and do take part. 

As a club, we do also have a few runners who are exceptional performers in their age category, and the league races are a fantastic way of recognising that. Individuals can compete to be the best in their age category - with their best times in 7 of the 11 races contributing to their overall score. However, there is no expectation that you run any number of races at all - you could just do one. 

The age categories are:

  • Junior (U23)
  • Senior (24-39)
  • Vet (40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70, 75+)

As a team, Squirrels are ranked against all other league clubs based on the best 8 out of 11 races. 

Entries for most of these are available about a month before the race itself, typically opening on a Sunday evening. They sell out fast so you must be prepared to set an alarm on your phone to remind you to sign-up quickly. We will post on Facebook closer to the time to make sure you all have the opportunity to do this, but you can also see posts from the LRRL themselves on Facebook as well as the Leicester Runners page.

If you have any questions about league races please speak with your team captains - Lyndsay Jordan, Luke Czerpak and Tom Robotham. Run leaders such as Jason Scott and Matt Brown have also competed in league races and are more than happy to discuss them with you.
