The Alumni Association of CWRU

The Oldest Tradition on Campus Beginning in 1910, the Hudson Relays was created to commemorate the campus move from Hudson, Ohio to Cleveland. The Hudson Relays is a race amongst the classes that put each class' best runners to the test in a 25-mile relay around campus. Each alumni participant will run one or more sections of the 25-mile course.
This year, we're upping the ante with a side competition between the alumni and graduate student teams! To be divulged at a later date - stay tuned!
