About
University of London Athletics, X-Country & Triathlon club has 3 main aims:
1. To gather athletes from all the Uni of London colleges in order to compete at competitions against other institutions
2. To encourage athletic competition between the Uni of London colleges
3. To give athletes from the constituent colleges the chance to meet one other at socials/training!
How do we try to meet these aims?
1. The BUCS (British Universities) host the main competitions where we compete as University of London (UL). These are large prestigious events held every year where we compete against other universities from all over the UK. For athletes, there are the Indoor and Outdoor Athletics Championships. For X-Country there is the X-Country Championships. There are also the Triathlon, Duathlon and Marathon Championships. There are other smaller competitions through the year which we compete in. We try and encourage as many athletes as possible to compete for us! For athletics, we select based on PBs. For x-country, we selected based on performance in the LCL (see below). See www.bucs.org.uk for more details.
2. For athletes, we hold a yearly indoor UL Champs competition at Lee Valley around March time. This is open to all the London colleges to compete for the UL Cup, and the London medical schools to compete for the UH Shield! For X-Country, we hold the LCL (London Colleges League). See the LCL page for more info.
3. We always kick off the year with a Beer Mile near University of London Union (ULU)! We host other socials and training throughout the year in addition to this. See the Training page for more info.
