Tour of Pendle Fell Race

The Tour of Pendle Fell Race is an AL fell race held on Saturday 21 November 2026, based at Barley Village Hall (BB12 9LD). The advertised course is 27 km (16.8 miles) with 1,473 m of climb. The event is registered and licensed through the Fell Runners Association and is organised in accordance with the FRA rules and requirements. It is not a long distance walk; experience and navigational skills are required and local knowledge is an advantage.

Runners must carry mandatory kit: waterproof whole-body cover with taped seams and an integrated attached hood, hat, gloves, a map of the route, compass, whistle and emergency food. GPS devices are not allowed. Cut-offs will be enforced at CP4 and CP6; the CP4 cut-off is 1 hour 45 minutes after the start and the CP6 cut-off is 2 hours 45 minutes after the start. Competitors who cannot complete the full course within five hours in normal November conditions are unlikely to meet the CP6 cut-off. A head count will begin approximately 30 m from the village hall, about 20 m from the start, and access to the lane beyond is not permitted before the race starts.

Entries open on 1 July 2026 and close on 31 October 2026. Minimum age is 18. Standard entry fee is £16 with entry on the day at £25 if places remain. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
