Record number of walkers for Boundary Walk 2025

On Sunday 7th October a record breaking 618 walkers participated in the 13-mile Maidenhead Boundary Walk, organised jointly by Rotary in Maidenhead. 

The sun shone over the walkers and collectively they raised over £22,000 for 46 different charities. As a result of the success of the event an additional £3,000 was able to be donated to two nominated charities – Thames Valley Hospice and Age UK Berkshire. It was a privilege to welcome our local MP Joshua Reynolds and the Mayor of RBWM Mandy Kaur Brar and representatives from the chosen charities to set the walkers off.

Our Maidenhead Rotary club provided many of the marshals on the route to keep participants on track, and Past President Matthew Burdett managed to run the entire 13 miles.

​This annual event continues to go from strength to strength after 43 consecutive years. Hundreds of walkers raise thousands of pounds in sponsorship as they retrace the traditional 13-mile path of the old Maidenhead Borough, or a shorter family friendly 2.5-mile route.

It really shows the power of a local community coming together to make a positive difference.
