They say that one does not simply walk into Mordor until now. The Bowlby Library is issuing a quest to all who are brave enough to accept! From June 1ˢᵗ to August 31ˢᵗ we are challenging the public to participate in our Mosey to Mordor program! Frodo and friends traveled a total of 1,779 miles to Mordor from the Shire; participants will have it a bit easier as they only need to walk 178 miles. Each mile walked will count for 10 miles that Frodo traveled. Any participant who takes up the task can reach out to a sponsor(s) to donate an amount based on the number of miles walked before the end of the challenge, or just for fun! Walking at least 2 miles a day will complete the journey on time! You don't have to travel to have a grand adventure this summer, you can do so by reading one of the greatest stories ever told, The Lord of the Rings series!
Compete in a Walk/Run based on the Hobbit's journey to Mordor! Now while the Frodo and friends had to walk a total of 1,779 miles to reach Mordor from the Shire, we're making things a little easier and cutting the length down to 178 miles. A Special Edition Copy of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy illustrated by the author, J.R.R. Tolkien, will be awarded to the first five to complete the challenge in the fastest time. Other competitors who complete the challenge will receive an award.
Have a grand adventure this summer by reading one of the greatest stories ever told, The Lord of the Rings! If you read through The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy before August 31ˢᵗ you will be awarded an Illustrated Edition of The Hobbit.
