TK Cowan History
In the past the Presbyterian, Dunlaider (formally Anglican), and Mornington Running clubs each held an annual event. They would all invite the other two clubs to their event to compete. Runners were tough back then, and the clubs aimed to make the courses as challenging as they could.
The TK Cowan Race was created by the Presbyterian Harrier Club. This race has it all. Road, Grass, Mud, Gravel, Sand, and hills.
This event brought the three clubs together, and eventually through the positive relationships that it fostered, it led to the amalgamation of the three clubs. Forming Hill City.
The Next club merger was with the University Harrier and Multisport Club. The unification of the four clubs now forms the Hill City-University Athletic Club.
The TK Cowan is named after an influential runner from the Presbyterian Harrier Club. As a community, we are proud that the Cowan family has become a prominent, intergenerational, and well-respected family of runners at Hill City-University.
