Eccles Pike Fell Race 2026
Eccles Pike Fell Race is scheduled for Wednesday 12 August 2026 and is organised by Goyt Valley Striders. The race uses Bugsworth War Memorial Club / Buxworth Memorial Club as Race HQ, which is close to the race start and finish.
The course is a short fell race of 3.4 miles (5.5 km) with 901 ft (275 m) of climb. The event is described as one of the oldest fell races in the country with a history exceeding 100 years and is noted by the organiser for being short, tough and demanding.
Entry is offered through the organiser’s online system with an entry fee of £10.00; a £1.00 discount applies for FRA members. Numbers are collected on the day. The organiser states that the race often sells out and that on-the-day entries are unlikely.
Parking information supplied by the organiser notes possible charges at the Navigation Inn car park, a large car park at Tesco about 1 km away on the canal, and additional parking on the day; entrants are asked not to block the race route. Transfers and deferrals are normally permitted up to 48 hours before the event. Refunds and cancellations are handled at the race organiser’s discretion and booking fees charged by third parties are not refunded. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
