There are two leagues: summer and winter.
The summer league first appeared in 2003 and consists of hill races; quite often incorporating Scottish Championship events and more recently covering British races too. A great chance to see a bit of the country.
The winter league is a long established series of races held from October to March, taking in cross-country, trail and road. A great chance to see places like Dumbarton, Bailleston and Renton.
