The Pendulum 2026 : event overview

The Pendulum 2026 is scheduled for Sunday 22 March 2026 at Langleeford in the Cheviot Hills. The event is organised by Northern Fell Running and Cheviot TRAIL Events. The course visits both Hedgehope Hill and The Cheviot and is listed as an 11-mile route with 3,689 ft of climb. The race is a timed event with race bibs, and finishers receive a medal. Prizes are awarded to the first three male and female finishers.

Race and practical details

The course is described as well marked and has a water station at the halfway point. A GPX file of the route will be supplied before race day. The event is supported and overseen by mountain rescue. Organisers set a cut-off of 3 hours to reach the halfway point - climb Cheviot and return; those who make the cut-off may continue to Hedgehope.

Entry information lists a minimum age of 18, an entry fee of £29, and entry opening and closing dates. Trail shoes, waterproofs, a whistle, hat and gloves are recommended. There is limited parking in the valley so car sharing is suggested. The event village will operate on a cash-only basis due to no signal in the valley. In the event of snow or ice preventing access to the start location, the event will be postponed rather than cancelled. No dogs are allowed.
