The Metropolitan League, also referred to as the Met League, is a cross country running league in South East England formed of clubs from around London and the home counties.^[1] Formed in 1966, it is one of the oldest leagues in the country.

There are five league fixtures held in various locations between October and February. Male and female athletes aged 11 upwards compete at each fixture and there are six races which are categorised as

• under 11s,
• under 13s,
• combined under 15s and under 17s, and
• seniors and veterans.

The senior and veterans races also include divisions one, two and three.^[2]
