Thieveley Pike Fell Race
The course starts from a boggy field by the Ram Inn in Cliviger and follows the Mary Towneley Loop to Scout Farm. A sharp left leads up a short but very steep climb onto the moor. After crossing a couple of fields the route continues across rough moorland for the ascent to Thieveley Pike. The return includes two grassy descents and a final steep section described as a "sting in the tail" before rejoining the bridleway for the last push to the finish. The route is flagged.
The event distance is 7 km (4.3 miles) with approximately 400 m (1,312 ft) of climb. The venue for race assembly is St John’s Church Hall, Holme, Chapel-in-Cliviger, near Burnley, BB10 4SU. Category is AS, skills code PM, and the minimum age is 16.
Entry is available on the day only. Entry fees are £7.00 for FRA members and £8.00 for FRA non members. The race is held under UKA rules and is registered with the FRA. Competitors are required to carry the FRA Mandatory Minimum Kit; a recommendation will be given on the day.
Prizes are awarded to the first three men and first three ladies, plus first U23 man and first U23 lady, with veteran prizes by 10 year age categories. Parking guidance asks that the area in front of the school be kept clear for emergency vehicles and that village and roadside parking do not block access to properties. Results are recorded for multiple years. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
