The Dorm Run
The Dorm Run was first run in 1896 and was traditionally always run on Shrove Tuesday, however this tradition ceased in the 1950s. The current Dorm Run course is a 3.6 mile route through Clumber Park. Although the course is relatively short from a cross country perspective, it is notoriously difficult due to the undulating terrain. The current Dorm Run record is held by Jack Buckner who ran 18:35 in 1980.
