The Pendulum Race : Langleeford
The Pendulum Race in Langleeford follows an 11 mile route that includes both Hedgehope Hill and The Cheviot. The course lists a total ascent of 3,689 ft and is limited to 200 participants. Entrants must be 18 or older.
The event is organized by Northern Fell Running Events Ltd. The course is marked and managed by experienced marshals, supported by mountain rescue, and monitored by a tail runner. There is a water station at the halfway point. Participants receive a GPX file of the route beforehand, a race bib, electronic timing, summit wristbands, and a finisher medal; prizes are awarded to the first three male and female finishers.
A cutoff of three hours applies for reaching the halfway point (climb The Cheviot and return); participants who meet this cutoff may continue to Hedgehope. Recommended kit includes trail shoes, waterproofs, a whistle, hat, and gloves. The event village operates stalls on a cash only basis due to limited valley signal, and parking in the valley is limited. Dogs are not permitted. If snow or ice prevent access to the start location, the event will be postponed rather than cancelled. Photography and filming may occur and images may be used for promotional purposes.
