Waltham Winder History
The Waltham Winder event was originally set up about 15 years ago as a fund raising event to repair the church clock. It proved to be a major success for walkers, runners and the church, such that enough funds were raised within a couple of years.
After an absence of 7 years the Waltham Winder event was re-established to raise funds for many worthwhile causes within the village community, Now in its fourth year and with excellent feedback from participants (some of whom have come back each time) we are looking forward to another great day out. The event will run whatever the weather!
