University of Birmingham Athletics & Cross Country

We’re delighted to invite all BUAC alumni back to the University of Birmingham on the 24th of June to watch a once in a lifetime Ivy League match.

For the first time ever, we will have all 4 Universities compete against Birmingham in an athletics spectacle.
Combined teams from Harvard & Yale and Penn & Cornell, will take on Birmingham’s finest in a double header, dual match - competing for the Bob Ashwood & Michael Hayes Trophies.

We really hope to see lots of you back to cheer on the present Birmingham cohort to victory.

There is also the opportunity to join us for a banquet with Penn & Cornell in the evening if you want to fully immerse, once again, in the greatest exchange in higher education.
