Race overview
About Second Sunday 5
The Second Sunday 5 is a monthly 5-mile race held in Wimbledon, South West London. Organised by Thames Hare and Hounds, the route combines road and trail surfaces across Wimbledon Common and the surrounding area, providing a varied course that differs from a traditional road race. The event's regular schedule makes it a familiar fixture for local runners throughout the year.
Unlike many races that take place only once annually, the Second Sunday 5 offers a recurring opportunity to race over the same distance and compare performances across different months and conditions. The combination of mixed terrain, established club organisation and consistent monthly format has made it a long-running part of the London running scene.
