​Circuit of the Century – Dress Up, Step Out, Do Good

This year’s Maidenhead Boundary Walk is set to be extra special as it coincides with 100 years of Rotary in Maidenhead — and we’re celebrating in style.

Introducing Circuit of the Century: a fun, feel-good theme inviting walkers to take on the Boundary Walk in fancy dress inspired by any decade from the last 100 years. Think roaring 1920s, wartime classics, swinging 60s, bold 80s or modern-day icons — the choice is yours.
Whether you’re walking solo, with friends, family or colleagues, this is your chance to turn a great local tradition into a moving celebration of history, community and creativity. And there’s an added incentive: the best dressed walker or team will win £100 to donate to a charity of their choice.

Fancy dress is optional, fun is guaranteed — and every step helps support great causes.
​So pick your decade, plan your outfit, and join us on Sunday 4 October to walk the boundary, celebrate a century of doing good, and be part of something truly memorable.
Open to walkers of all ages and abilities, whether you are an individual, group or family this is your opportunity to participate in an historical event, have some fun, and raise much needed money for your chosen causes.  

​This annual event allows walkers to raise money through sponsorship for their favourite charities whilst enjoying a very interesting walk through some beautiful parts of the Berkshire countryside re-tracing the old boundary of the ancient town of Maidenhead in the Royal County of Berkshire. Alternatively, participants can do the walk just for fun or to help raise money for the Rotary Club's own charitable work.
​
  • When: Sunday 4th October 2026
  • Starting Time: 9am - 10.30am
  • Starting Point: All walks start at Boulter Lock Car Park ( 7-15 Lower Cookham Rd, Maidenhead SL6 8JN)

  • SHORTER FAMILY WALK: This walk is 4.7km (2.9 miles) and leaves Boulters Lock Car Park and follows the Thames Path down to Maidenhead Bridge, crossing the river and going through the boatyard next to Roux heading down to the Sounding Arch and then back along the same route, walking through Taplow Riverside, following the Jubilee River to Ray Mill Island.
  • Sponsorship: try to get as many sponsors as you can, you get to keep 100% of the funds you raise. Rotary is happy to support the causes close to your heart.  If you don’t want to walk in aid of a charity then that is also fine, the more the merrier!

JOIN US in what we hope will be a fun event and an opportunity for walkers to participate in the history of the Boundary walk. Good luck!
