West Cheshire AC are affiliated to the following leagues:
- The Liverpool and District CC Union League: One race for men and women, at three venues before Christmas (used to be male-only but senior women now run with the men).
- The Manchester Area CC League: All age groups (no under-11s at first round), at five venues between October and February. For each race, runners use the race number allocated to them at the start of the series (additions are also allowed before each race). A runner's best four finishing positions count towards individual and team awards at the end of the series (best three for under-11s).
- The North Staffs CC League: Separate races across all age groups, at four venues before Christmas. Finishing positions in all four rounds count towards final positions.
- The 'Grand Prix Express' North Wales CC League: One race at 2pm for women over-15 and men under-17 and over-70; another at 2:45pm for all other men. At five venues between September and February.
In league 2 above, each runner’s number is recorded by the finish funnel stewards. Finishers in the other three leagues are handed a disc or ticket showing their finishing position, to pass on to the WCAC team recorder, who fills in a sheet to allow the race organisers to calculate team positions.
Second claim members can run in league 1 above. They can also run in league 2 if they notify the organisers beforehand. Leagues 3 & 4 do not allow either second claim or guest runners.
