Tour of Pendle Fell Race

The Tour of Pendle is an AL Fell Race run from Barley Village Hall in November 2026. The course covers 27 km / 16.8 miles with 1473 m / 4833 ft of ascent. It is explicitly not a long distance walk and requires experience and navigation skills; local knowledge is an advantage.

The event is registered and licensed through the FRA and is organised in accordance with FRA rules and requirements. Mandatory kit for all competitors includes waterproof whole body cover with taped seams and an attached hood, hat, gloves, a map of the route, compass, whistle and emergency food. The use of GPS devices is not permitted.

Cut-offs at CP4 and CP6 will be enforced; anyone who arrives at those controls after they have closed will be directed back to Barley Village Hall to inform race marshals and record retirement. New race maps will be available from Pete Bland Sports from 1 July.

Entries open on Wednesday 1 July 2026 and close on Saturday 31 October 2026. The minimum age for entry is 18. Advance entry is priced at £16 and a higher entry on the day is possible if places remain. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
