The 4th trail race in the Todmorden Harriers championship was Piethorne, in for the first time in 2024. Organised by Darren and Joolz Graham of Craggrunner, both Toddies too. A very successful day for Todmorden with no favours from Daz and Joolz, honest! Ashley Wright was in first place overall, with Darren Shackleton 4th, Jon Wright in 10th also taking …
Pilgrims Cross fell race in the Todmorden Harriers GP for the 2nd successive year, attracting 28 Toddies for a lovely summer evening fell race.

Or maybe everyone heard it was a good old-fashioned bargain …

There are lots of similarities to Caldervale 10 with hills that just keep on giving! After a fast flat and downhill 6 km, the first of 3 hills appear where each one gets steeper …
Road race number 5 of the 2024 GP saw 26 Tod Harriers taking on the deceptively tough 5 miles and 2 laps of Penistone Country Park in Haworth. The “big hill” on the 2nd lap is a bit like running into a brick wall after a very fast decent and flat section. Not that the hills bothered the mighty Toddies …
Saturday saw the 2nd running of Cragg Runners’ Stanza Stone 50 mile ultra. The Stanza Stones are 6 poems created by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage around the theme of water and then carved into rocks and placed at various locations across the Pennine moors.
