The Wiltshire Road Race League (The League) is an annual series of races for all runners from clubs affiliated to Wiltshire Athletic Association with the goal of promoting road running within the county and raising the profile of Wiltshire clubs and athletes.
The League started in 2012 with a single division, but subsequently a second division was added to support the number of teams participating. The League is currently structured into two divisions and runs from January to December, with all races selected being in the same calendar year. In a typical year the races will be between April and October.
Athletes from the affiliated clubs participate in the league fixtures and score points for both their club and themselves.
The annual fixtures and results for The League can be found from the Menu at the top of this page.
A full description of the points scoring can be found on the Road Running Rules page found here.
A – Teams and B – Teams
