Since 1953, Thames Hare & Hounds has hosted the Alumni Race, an annual 5 mile cross-country run in which runners compete for a team of their old school.    It takes place on a Saturday in December on Wimbledon Common, where Thames started the sport of competitive team cross-country running over 152 years ago.   The 2021 event will take place  on Saturday 11th December at the Thames HQ on Richardson Evans Memorial Playing Fields, adjacent to the A3 at Robin Hood Roundabiout, SW15 3DU.   The start is at 2.30pm sharp.   Parking can be tricky and the changing faciltiies are very limited.

In 2008, the name of the event was changed from the Old Boys’ Race to the Alumni Race with the numbers of ladies participating increasing steadily. About 60 schools have entered a team over the full history of the event. The number of participants has slowly crept up, accelerating recently to over 300.   New teams are always welcome.   

Entrants must be bona fide ex Alumni of their school, but each team can include one current member of staff.  There are separate trophies for teams of V40, 50, 60, and 65;  Age Related, Open, Ladies; First finisher, first lady finisher.    Guests are also welcome, entering their team as 'GUEST'.  

Note that when you enter, if when you use 'Lookup' you find there is already a person with the same name but who is not you, differentiate yourself by e.g. adding an initial.
