Now you can walk or run the Tod boundary!
It is one of the big events in the town’s calendar and never more so than this year when it is hoped events will pull in visitors to the Calder Valley as well as local people to show the area is very much open for business following the Boxing Day flooding.
As usual the walks take place on the Sunday of the May Day Bank Holiday weekend, this year being Sunday, May 1.

This event will cater for the growing number of runners interested in taking on the challenge of the 22-mile Boundary Walk route.
All three events will register and start from the Bellholme Sports Centre, Rochdale Road, Walsden (almost at the border with Littleborough) with staggered starts to ensure a smooth get away for everyone.
Entry forms are now available and can be downloaded from the Rotary Club website - www.todrotary.org - and the entry fee remains the same as last year at £10 per person for the Boundary Walk and £8 per person for the Pike Hike.

Full details are available on the website.
Each year the walk raises thousands of pounds for charities and other good causes, with usually a different one being selected each year.
This year the main beneficiary will be one close to home - Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team. The Mytholmroyd based team has members throughout the Calder Valley and celebrates its golden jubilee this year.
If taking part is not for you this year and you can spare some time to help out on the day, or if you are interested in sponsoring the events, please contact the Rotary Club of Todmorden at [email protected]
