The Second Sunday 5 is a monthly 5 mile race around Wimbledon Common, organised by Thames Hare and Hounds. Starting and finishing at the club's base at Richardson Evans Memorial Playing Fields, the event has a friendly atmosphere and welcomes runners of a wide range of abilities.
The route heads out alongside Beverley Brook before runners complete two undulating laps and return towards the clubhouse for the finish. The mixed terrain course makes the most of Wimbledon Common's open and wooded surroundings, with underfoot conditions varying through the seasons and some mud possible during wetter periods.
The Second Sunday 5 provides a regular opportunity for runners to test themselves over the same scenic course, chase a faster time or incorporate the event into a longer Sunday run. The course is well marked and supported, with accurate results produced after the race and race shirts available to regular participants who reach completion milestones.
