LVAC Winter League 2025/2026

The LVAC Winter League 2025/2026 (WL) is a six-race series exclusively for Liffey Valley AC members, running from November 2025 to late March 2026. The league consists of four cross-country races and two road races.

How the League Works

The Winter League trophy is awarded to the athlete who finishes the series with the highest total from their best four results out of the six races.

Points System

WL points are awarded based on finishing position in each race. All finishers score points, even further down the field.

Position Points

2nd 45
3rd 44

-1 point per place

Bonus Points

  • +40 points for running Race 1 (5km Club XC)
  • +50 points for running Race 4 (5km W/10km M Club XC)
  • +10 points for completing at least 5 of the 6 races

This means you can still contend for the WL title even if you only complete four races.

Race Format

Most WL races use a handicap format, where slower runners receive a head start. Because of this, the Winter League rewards consistency, commitment, and smart racing as much as pure speed.

Why Take Part?

  • Race alongside your clubmates in a friendly, competitive environment.
  • Build the habit of regular racing through the winter months.
  • Turn sustained training into noticeable race day improvement.
  • Earn WL points, enjoy the craic, and claim some bragging rights.
