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 on Wimbledon Common, where Thames started the sport of competitive team cross-country running over 150 years ago.   About 60 schools have entered a team over the full history of the event. The number of participants is currently about 300.   New teams are always welcome.   

The 2023 event will take place  on Saturday 16th September at the Thames HQ on Richardson Evans Memorial Playing Fields, adjacent to the A3 at Robin Hood Roundabout, SW15 3DU.  ///sport.cage.fire.    The start is at 3.00pm sharp.   

There is a car park entered at ///slips.rips.focal, but this can often be full.  Parking can be found in nearby roads and also at Asda,  a little higher up the A3.  Buses run regularly from Putney Station.   

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.  You will need your team 5 letter code which your team convenor can give you.
