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.

Meet us...
At our weekly pack runs which start from a different 'pub of the month' every Wednesday. You'll find that a warm and friendly welcome awaits. See the News page for details of the current venue. You don’t have to be a member to come along and run with us. If fact, pack runs are an ideal way to get to know us and find out whether Tod Harriers is the club for you.

How much to join?
It costs £17 per year to join (includes Northern Athletics affilation fees - if you don't do any road races you only need to pay £12).

How to join
If you’ve enjoyed the pack runs and are ready to join Todmorden Harriers you need to contact Claire Duffield (Membership Secretary) to request a Membership Application Form. Either email Claire, or speak to her on a Wednesday evening or call her on 01422 846593. Your application will be formally considered at the next monthly committee meeting.

Regular newsletter
Every month or so each member receives a copy of our newsletter (The 'Torrier'). This contains news of events, entry forms for Grand Prix races, league tables, letters, banter and anything else that any member feels like sending in. You can see back issues of the newsletter in PDF format on the Torrier page.
