Under 11s were formally admitted to the League from the 2015/16 season after races were initially put on for them by host clubs. At the time, Under 11s had grown to become the largest Junior age group in terms of participation.
Then, from the 2016-17 season, Member Clubs were able to count their 2nd claim runners within their teams. Previously, the League counted 1st claim runners only with many 2nd claim runners running as guests. |

The 1st Mid Lancs Cross Country race was run at Ashton, from the headquarters of Preston Harriers, in 1931.
For many years, the running course was marked by a paper trail
which could - and did - cause difficulty in windy conditions. Courses were a mixture of road and country over 6 - 8 miles,
Senior Men only, contesting the Meyler Cup. From the beginning, the league operated without limit on the number of competitors, the first 6 counting for their club's team. Team standings were and still are, based on adding up the finish positions of counting runners.
The early members of the league were the three Lancaster clubs of Lancaster H & AC, Lancaster Freehold Harriers and Primrose Harriers together with Clayton Harriers, Leyland Motors AC, Preston H&AC and Rossendale Harriers. |
