All about Tod Harriers...
Todmorden Harriers AC was formed in the 1970s when a group of local runners
got together to form a club to meet the needs of athletes in the Upper
Calder Valley and its surrounding areas. From these simple beginnings,
the club has continued to grow and currently has an active membership
of around 130.
In recent years the club has gone from strength to strength,
achieving success in national fell running championships, both in individual
and team categories.
It has also developed a reputation as a force in the
long distance world, with numerous successful Bob Graham Rounds and prize
winning mountain marathon performances.
Away from the fells, the club is also active in other
areas of athletics, with an active road running scene for the lovers of
tarmac. There is also a growing band of members who have achieved recognition
in the world of Iron Man Triathlon.
As well as running, we also organise races. Each year
the club stages six quality fell races and one road race. We are proud
of these events, and it’s both enjoyable and satisfying for our
members to be able to put something back into the sport.
In addition to the seniors, we have a thriving junior
section.
Despite our success we remain a friendly and social
club, with our roots firmly in the community. To find out more about us
please have a browse around the website.
