Wistanstow Challenge Walk becomes the Tour des Marches

Under cover of the winter months, we’ve had a name change. Having spent a happy seven years under the banner of the Wistanstow Challenge Walk, we’ve promoted a frequently used sub-title. Welcome to the:

2014 Tour des Marches

Although based at the impressive black and white Wistanstow Village Hall, the route takes walkers and runners on a tour of the beautiful and varied countryside west of the village. This frequently fought-over borderland between England and Wales as long been referred to as the ‘Marches/Welsh Marches’ – hence in part the name change

Aside from the usual few tweeks that are part and parcel of an events life; rest assured that the well-loved format, route, and organisation will appear essentially the same. Being oversubscribed for the last three years suggests that we’re doing something right.

The Rules and Entry Form will appear shortly. (LDWA members are reminded that the Standard Entry Form found towards the rear of the Strider magazine, is accepted for this event.

[The site will be updated over the coming weeks.]
