Dr Neil Mathur - Senior TreasurerNeil has been with the club since 1996, and does the Sunday morning run more often than not. He has run one or two marathons (right), but feels his greatest achievement was to meet the inaugural 100 point challenge on September Training Camp 2003. He is a University Reader in Materials Science, and a Senior Research Fellow at Churchill College where he did his degree and PhD in Physics. His research group studies exotic magnetic and electronic materials using thin films and devices. It keeps him quite busy but the reason why he recently retired from training camps was to spend more time with his family (left). |

Dr Ben Hope - Vice PresidentBen Hope has been in the club since 2001, running in the Blues race in each of the four years 2002-2005. He was Honorary Secretary in 2003-04 and Club Captain in 2004-05 at the end of which he was made a Vice President. His best races to date were run in his teens, which was a long time ago by all accounts. Nevertheless he was first scorer for Cambridge in the Blues race of 2004, 15th in BUSA in 2003, and ran 67:22 to finish 10th in the Bristol Half Marathon in 2007. He recently completed his PhD in theoretical nanoscience, (more specifically on the electronic properties of cobalt nanowires and carbon nanotubes) and is now working as a quantitative analyst for Barclays Capital in Canary Wharf. Is this a complete sell out? Time will tell! |

 | Mark Coley - Vice PresidentMark took up running long distance in 2005 after being challenged to partake in the Freshers' Fun Run by fellow medic James Gill. He's since completed two marathons and thinks nothing about running around Cambridge when he has a few hours to spare. When he's not running he often ends up riding to London for the afternoon with like-minded Hareys, sampling the local watering holes along the way
Varsity Match Progression: 2005-58th (5ths), 2006-57th (4ths), 2007-58th (4ths) |  |
 | James Gill - Vice PresidentJames Gill, a final year graduate medic with a back ground in triathlon, caught the cross-country bug upon discovering the Hare and Hounds' unique running formula = passion + lots of fun + amazing people + great cake. Previous committee positions have included College League and Boundary run organiser and Poster Secretary. His running aspirations for the coming season are to avenge the defeat by Oxford at Shotover in the Varsity match and to run the London Flora Marathon, inspired by fellow Graduate medic and mile junky Mark Coley. Varsity Match Progression: 2005-3rd (5ths), 2006-5th (3rds), 2007-3rd (3rds) |  |
