Thames Hare and Hounds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thames Hare and Hounds is the oldest cross-country running club in the world, based on the Roehampton end of Wimbledon Common, adjacent to Richmond Park, and draws runners from across south-west London. Both the men's and women's teams compete in the Surrey Cross Country League, division one; the club also fields teams in road races and relays.

The club was founded in 1868, by members of Thames Rowing Club.

Thames host races in Richmond Park and on Wimbledon Common, in particular the cross-country Oxford–Cambridge Varsity Match, held each year since 1880[1] on Wimbledon Common after the end of Michaelmas term.
