Julian Rendall represented England in this race, finishing and excellent 5th in 3 hours 12 minutes and helping England to the overall victory.

Thames welcomed Cambridge University Hare and Hounds for races over the 7.5 mile and 4 mile courses. An excellent turnout from the visitors meant we were thoroughly out-mobbed in both races. The Thames runners who did turn out though gave the students a run for their money on an enjoyable afternoon. The short race was won by Amanda Scott and James Kelly triumphed over the longer distance.
