Rosenheim League
The Rosenheim League is an inter-club competition for senior and U17 athletes (note: no U15 or U13 - check your age-group in Serpiebase), comprising six fixtures held on Wednesday evenings between May and August. The league is split into two divisions and we are in the Eastern Division. At the end of the season the leading clubs in the two divisions meet in a "final" to decide the overall champions. We first entered the Rosenheim League in 2001.
Each meeting has a wide-ranging track programme covering distances from 100m to 3000m. The programme also includes two jumps and two throws and one hurdle race, these events varying from fixture to fixture.
Originally a male-only league, from 2005 on there has been a scoring competition for women as well. Women score in one sprint (100m, 200m or 400m), one middle distance race (800m, 1500m or 3000m), one jump and one throw in each meeting.
Each club can have as many competitors as they want and each athlete can take part in as many events a they want. The entry is free for Serpentine members but you need to wear your club vest in an event in order to score.
