LUCA organises four main athletics competitions. LUCA is also responsible for maintaining championship records at each of these events.
LUCA Cross Country League
The London Colleges League (LCL) is the long-standing cross country league for higher education institutions in London to compete in. From 2017 it became the 'LUCA Cross Country League'. The league is normally made up of five or six races held across two terms. Each race is hosted by a different university/college. Traditionally, the first race is hosted by UCL at Parliament Hill and the final is hosted by St Mary's University, Twickenham at Bushy Park. In the 2017–18 season, the final fixture was moved to Wormwood Scrubs.
Athletes are awarded points at each race. The athlete with the most points at the end of the league wins the championship. Points are also counted towards team totals. Starting in the 2018/19 season, a new trophy will be awarded to the team with the most points across men's and women's races. This trophy will be named in honor of the late Mike Baggs, who was the league's longest serving secretary.
