Welcome to the Hawks' Club
The Hawks’ Club has been in existence since 1872 and represents the best sportsmen at the University of Cambridge. Membership is by election only, and the usual criterion is that the candidate should have been awarded his Blue, Half-Blue or Second Team Colours, which involves having taken part in the match or race against Oxford in his particular sport.
The Hawks’ Charitable Trust
The Trust was established in January 1996 with a relatively small endowment capital donated by some of the Members to provide grants to current Cambridge University students, male and female, whose sporting activities were being inhibited by financial constraints.

The distance part of the Hawks & Ospreys Charity Race is over! Now we need your help for the fundraising part of the race!
Over the past 7 days (1st-7th July), the Hawks' Club took part in a charity race against the Ospreys, to raise funds for the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust and Sporting Equals, two fantastic charities that aim to change attitudes around careers, sports and health for BAME communities within the UK, through a number of ongoing projects. More information about their work can be found on their pages.
The aim of the first part of the race was to cover as much distance as possible through any sporting modality, to represent the large number of sports that both Clubs represent.
Over this week, 91 Hawks logged activities on the Hawks' Strava Club (www.strava.com/clubs/693343), covering a huge distance: we cycled 8231 km, ran 2009 km, rowed 82.7 km, and swam 2.4 km, logging a total active time of 496 hours. In comparison, The Ospreys had 46 participants, who cycled 2763 km, ran 854 km, and sailed 7.4 km, logging a total active time of 235 hours.
There have been some standout individual performances too, with Jonathan Vibhishanan (CULRC; incoming HOATS officer) cycling 1012 km, Hilary Foord (CURLFC; outgoing HOATS officer) cycling 519 km over some serious elevation, and Mike Phillips (CURUFC) running 104km, including one marathon!
With the sporting element coming to a close, the fundraising element of the race is now taking precedence!
Thank you to everyone who has already donated. If you haven't already, please consider making a donation before the 22nd July via this link: uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-display/showROFundraiserPage?pageId=1189463, to show your support for our participating athletes, and to help raise funds for these two extremely worthy causes.
