Old travel Blog photograph of the Hare and Hounds running team from the University in Edinburgh, Scotland. The first inaugural meeting of the great Edinburgh University Hare and Hounds running club was in 1890. The Hare and Hounds took to the stage with their first major race in 1890 for the University Blue, the most prestigious sports award for University athletes. This saw six runners compete for the club. They began to participate in more and more races as the turn of the century approached. Up until the First World War the Club also had an annual race against Dublin University in the capital of the Republic of Ireland, and this was seen to be the Haries’ main event of the year, with the home team usually taking the win.
